Question Number 6027 by FilupSmith last updated on 10/Jun/16

x^x =e^(xln x) e^x =1+x+(x^2 /(2!))+(x^3 /(3!))+... ∴ e^(xln x) = 1+xln(x)+(((xln x)^2 )/(2!))+... e^(xln x) = (((xln x)^0 )/(0!))+(((xln x)^1 )/(1!))+(((xln x)^2 )/(2!))+... x^x =e^(xln x) =Σ_(n=0) ^∞ ((x^n (ln x)^n )/(n!)) Question: ∫_0 ^( 1) x^x dx=Σ_(i=0) ^∞ ∫_0 ^1 ((x^n (ln x)^n )/(n!))dx by substituting: x=exp(−(u/(n+1))), 0<u<∞ show that: ∫_0 ^( 1) x^n (ln x)^n =(−1)^n (n+1)^(−(n+1)) ∫_0 ^( ∞) u^n e^(−u) du

∫_0 ^( 1) x^x dx=Σ_(i=0) ^∞ ∫_0 ^1 ((x^n (ln x)^n )/(n!))dx x=e^(− (u/(n+1))) ⇒ u=−(n+1)ln(x) dx=−(1/(n+1))e^(− (u/(n+1))) x=0 ⇒ u=∞ x=1 ⇒ u=0 ∴∫_0 ^( 1) x^n ln(x)^n = ∫_∞ ^( 0) e^(−((un)/(n+1))) ln(e^(−(u/(n+1))) )^n (−(1/(n+1))e^(− (u/(n+1))) )du =−∫_0 ^( ∞) e^(−(((un)/(n+1))+(u/(n+1)))) (1/(n+1))(−(u^n /((n+1)^n )))du =−(n+1)^(−(n+1)) ∫_0 ^( ∞) e^(−u) u^n du My answer is missing (−1)^n . Why???

can we evaluate the RHS?
