Math Problem Statement

The integral involves evaluating the expression ∫ (ln(x))² / x³ dx using integration by parts. The user is asked to determine the choices of u, dv, du, and v, and then solve the integral.

Solution

It seems you've uploaded a math problem related to integration by parts. Let's go through it step by step.

The integral is:

17(ln(x))2x3dx\int_1^7 \frac{(\ln(x))^2}{x^3} \, dx

The problem asks for the steps in performing integration by parts. Based on your description, we'll need to determine the appropriate choices for uu, dvdv, dudu, and vv, and then proceed to evaluate the integral.

First Integration by Parts Setup:

Given the choice:

u=(ln(x))2u = (\ln(x))^2

Then, we can differentiate uu to find dudu:

du=ddx((ln(x))2)du = \frac{d}{dx} \left( (\ln(x))^2 \right)

We use the chain rule:

du=2ln(x)1xdxdu = 2 \ln(x) \cdot \frac{1}{x} \, dx

Next, for dvdv, we have the remaining part of the integrand:

dv=1x3dxdv = \frac{1}{x^3} \, dx

Integrating dvdv:

v=1x3dx=12x2v = \int \frac{1}{x^3} \, dx = \frac{-1}{2x^2}

Second Integration by Parts Setup:

For the second integration by parts, the integral to solve becomes:

17vdu=1712x22ln(x)1xdx\int_1^7 v \, du = \int_1^7 \frac{-1}{2x^2} \cdot 2 \ln(x) \cdot \frac{1}{x} \, dx

This simplifies to:

17ln(x)x3dx\int_1^7 \frac{-\ln(x)}{x^3} \, dx

Let's go ahead and finish this step.
