I = 1/3(ln(x)x - x) + c

Explanation:

Use the log property that we can pass exponents to the front of the log
ln(root(3)(x)) = ln(x)/3

I = intln(x)/3dx
I = 1/3intln(x)dx

Say u = ln(x) so du = 1/x and dv = 1 so v = x

I = 1/3(ln(x)x - intx/xdx)
I = 1/3(ln(x)x - intdx)
I = 1/3(ln(x)x - x) + c

In general, we can say that intln(x^n)dx = n(ln(x)-x) + c
