Integral of xlgx dx

1. 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 $\frac{du}{2}$:

            $$\int \frac{e^{u}}{2}\, du$$

            1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

               $$\text{False}$$

               1. 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 $\frac{du}{2}$:

            $$\int \frac{e^{u}}{2}\, du$$

            1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

               $$\text{False}$$

               1. 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: $\frac{x^{2}}{4}$

2. Now simplify:

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

3. Add the constant of integration:

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

The answer is:

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