By parts with u=log⁡x, dv=x dxu=\log x,\ dv=x\,dx: ∫xlog⁡x dx=x22log⁡x−x24+C\int x\log x\,dx=\dfrac{x^2}{2}\log x-\dfrac{x^2}{4}+C.

Choose (ILATE): u=log⁡xu=\log x (logarithm) and dv=x dxdv=x\,dx.

Then du=1x dxdu=\dfrac{1}{x}\,dx and v=∫x dx=x22.v=\displaystyle\int x\,dx=\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}.

Apply ∫u dv=uv−∫v du\int u\,dv=uv-\int v\,du:

∫xlog⁡x dx=log⁡x⋅x22−∫x22⋅1x dx.\int x\log x\,dx=\log x\cdot\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\int \frac{x^{2}}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{x}\,dx.

Simplify the remaining integral: …
