$$\int\limits_{0}^{1} x \log{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$

Integral(x*log(x), (x, 0, 1))

Detail solution

There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
1. Let $u = \log{\left(x \right)}$ .
  
  Then let $du = \frac{dx}{x}$ and substitute $du$ :
  
  $\int u e^{2 u}\, du$
  1. Use integration by parts:
    
    $\int \operatorname{u} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{u}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{du}$
    
    Let $u{\left(u \right)} = u$ and let $\operatorname{dv}{\left(u \right)} = e^{2 u}$ .
    
    Then $\operatorname{du}{\left(u \right)} = 1$ .
    
    To find $v{\left(u \right)}$ :
    1. Let $u = 2 u$ .
      
      Then let $du = 2 du$ and substitute $\frac{du}{2}$ :
      
      $\int \frac{e^{u}}{2}\, du$
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\text{False}$
      
      The integral of the exponential function is itself.
      
      $\int e^{u}\, du = e^{u}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{e^{u}}{2}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\frac{e^{2 u}}{2}$
    Now evaluate the sub-integral.
  2. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \frac{e^{2 u}}{2}\, du = \frac{\int e^{2 u}\, du}{2}$
    1. Let $u = 2 u$ .
      
      Then let $du = 2 du$ and substitute $\frac{du}{2}$ :
      
      $\int \frac{e^{u}}{2}\, du$
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\text{False}$
      
      The integral of the exponential function is itself.
      
      $\int e^{u}\, du = e^{u}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{e^{u}}{2}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\frac{e^{2 u}}{2}$
    So, the result is: $\frac{e^{2 u}}{4}$
  Now substitute $u$ back in:
  
  $\frac{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}}{2} - \frac{x^{2}}{4}$
Method #2
1. Use integration by parts:
  
  $\int \operatorname{u} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{u}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{du}$
  
  Let $u{\left(x \right)} = \log{\left(x \right)}$ and let $\operatorname{dv}{\left(x \right)} = x$ .
  
  Then $\operatorname{du}{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x}$ .
  
  To find $v{\left(x \right)}$ :
  1. The integral of $x^{n}$ is $\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
    
    $\int x\, dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}$
  Now evaluate the sub-integral.
2. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
  
  $\int \frac{x}{2}\, dx = \frac{\int x\, dx}{2}$
  1. The integral of $x^{n}$ is $\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
    
    $\int x\, dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}$
  So, the result is: $\frac{x^{2}}{4}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{x^{2} \left(2 \log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)}{4}$
Add the constant of integration:

$\frac{x^{2} \left(2 \log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)}{4}+ \mathrm{constant}$

The answer is:

$\frac{x^{2} \left(2 \log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)}{4}+ \mathrm{constant}$
