9.5 Integration by parts 521
We could feel that integration by parts would not enableus to simplify
f log x dx, but we can set
u=logx, dv=ldx
du=1dx, v=x
x
to obtain
f logxdx=xlogx- f1dx=xlogx-x+c.
This result is easily checked by differentiation.

2 Setting u = iP, dv = (1 - t)4 dt, derive the formula
fol i (1 - t)4 dt =
q+^1
fo1 t-1(1 - t)4+1 dt.
Observe the fact that the result agrees with the beta integral formula
i
fo tP(1 - t)4 dt
p !q!
= (p +q + 1)1
and the formula r! = r[(r - 1)!]. Remark: In Problems 18 and 19 of Problems
13.49, we shall introduce the Euler gamma integral formula
z! = fo0 t=e t dt (z > -1)
and show how it is used to derive the Euler beta integral formula.
