integral from 1 to e of xln(x)

\int_{1}^{e} x ln (x) d x

\frac{e ^{2} + 1}{4}

Decimal

2.09726 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{e} x ln (x) d x

Apply Integration By Parts

= [\frac{1}{2} (x^{2} ln (x) - 2 \cdot \int \frac{x}{2} d x)]_{1}^{e}

\int \frac{x}{2} d x = \frac{x ^{2}}{4}

= [\frac{1}{2} (x^{2} ln (x) - 2 \cdot \frac{x ^{2}}{4})]_{1}^{e}

2 \cdot \frac{x ^{2}}{4} = \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

= [\frac{1}{2} (x^{2} ln (x) - \frac{x ^{2}}{2})]_{1}^{e}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{e ^{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{4}

= \frac{e ^{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{4}

Simplify

= \frac{e ^{2} + 1}{4}
