2. Integrate (ln x)2 dx.
Solution: let
u = (ln x)2 dv = dx

Now to integrate ln x dx, we will also apply integration by
parts.
Let
u = ln x dv = dx
dx
du = v = x.

So, ln x dx = x ln x − x = x ln x − x + C.

Therefore,

(ln x)2 dx = x(ln x)2 − 2 ln x dx

= x(ln x)2 − 2 (x ln x − x) + C
= x(ln x)2 − 2x ln x + 2x + C.

3. Integrate ex sin x dx.
Solution: let
u = ex dv = sin x dx
x
du = e dx v = − cos x
Z Z
Then, ex sin x dx = −ex cos x + ex cos x dx. Now to
Z
integrate ex cos x dx, we will perform integration by parts.
Let
u = ex dv = cos x dx
x
du = e dx v = sin x.
Therefore,
Z Z
e sin x dx = −e cos x + ex cos x dx

Z
= −e cos x + e sin x − ex sin x dx
