Choosing uu and dvdv (via ILATE — Logarithmic before Algebraic)

Let u=ln⁡x (⇒du=1xdx)u=\ln x\ (\Rightarrow du=\frac1x dx) and dv=x dx (⇒v=x22)dv=x\,dx\ (\Rightarrow v=\frac{x^2}{2}).

Applying integration by parts

∫xln⁡x dx=x22ln⁡x−∫x22⋅1x dx=x22ln⁡x−12∫x dx=x22ln⁡x−x24+C\int x\ln x\,dx=\frac{x^2}{2}\ln x-\int\frac{x^2}{2}\cdot\frac1x\,dx=\frac{x^2}{2}\ln x-\frac12\int x\,dx=\frac{x^2}{2}\ln x-\frac{x^2}{4}+C …
