All I need to know is what dv=


I already found u=(ln(x))^n

du= n(ln(x))^(n-1)*(1/x)

Perhaps I’m not understanding the question they are asking. There’s a video on YouTube explaining the reduction formula ln^n(x). You can search for it - the author is MasterWuMathematics and he’s doing this exact problem. Maybe that will help you see what I’m talking about.
