A hint to get started

Complete a square after substitution and use a product derivative

(a) By using the substitution u=xu=\sqrt x, find ∫1x (x+2x+2) dx\displaystyle\int\dfrac1{\sqrt x\,(x+2\sqrt x+2)}\,dx. marks

(b) Find ddx(xsin⁡x)\dfrac d{dx}(x\sin x). mark

Hence find ∫(sin⁡x+xcos⁡x)ln⁡x dx\displaystyle\int(\sin x+x\cos x)\ln x\,dx. marks
