#intln(x)x^(3/2)dx=2/5x^(5/2)(ln(x)-2/5)+C#

For this problem, we will use integration by parts:

Let #u = ln(x)# and #dv = x^(3/2)dx#

Then #du = 1/xdx# and #v = 2/5x^(5/2)#

Applying the formula #intudv = uv - intvdu# gives us

#intln(x)x^(3/2)dx = 2/5x^(5/2)ln(x)-int2/5x^(5/2)*1/xdx#

#=2/5x^(5/2)ln(x)-2/5intx^(3/2)dx#

#=2/5x^(5/2)ln(x) - 2/5(2/5x^(5/2))+C#

#=2/5x^(5/2)(ln(x)-2/5)+C#
