Evaluate the integral from 0 to 1 of x^3 ln x dx.
A. -1/16
B. -1/8
C. -1/4
D. -1/2
Check Answer
Show Solution
Correct: A
Use integration by parts: u = ln x, dv = x^3 dx ⇒ du = dx/x, v = x^4/4. The integral becomes [x^4 ln x / 4]_0^1 - ∫0^1 x^3/4 dx. The boundary term is 0 (limit as x→0+ of x^4 ln x = 0) and the remaining integral is -1/4 · [x^4/4]_0^1 = -1/16.
