I did the same way
∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 x ln t x ( t 3 − 1 ) d t d x = ∫ 0 1 ∫ t 1 ln t x ( t 3 − 1 ) d x d t = 2 1 ∫ 0 1 ln t ( 1 − t 2 ) ( t 3 − 1 ) d t = 2 1 ∫ 0 ∞ y ( e − 2 y − 1 ) ( e − 3 y − 1 ) e − y d y ( t = e − y ) = 2 1 ( ∫ 0 ∞ y e − 6 y − e − 3 y d y + ∫ 0 ∞ y e − y − e − 4 y d y ) = 2 1 ( ln 2 1 + ln 4 ) = 2 ln 2
The final two integrals can be evaluated using Frullani's Integral .
Can you please explain the first two steps?

you'll integrate x, that is x^2/2 from t to 1 and treat (t^3-1)/lnt a constant

I am comfortable with the integration. But I do not understand the very first step which involves the change of limits from "0 to x" to "t to 1". Please clarify.

@Sanat Anand – This method is known as 'changing the order of integration'. You may read this article ⌣ ¨
Wow! Great solution, Pranav! As I don't know much about double integrals I was just surfing the net to learn some techniques when I came across this method of changing the order of integration.It can also be used to compute integrals such as:
∫ 0 π ∫ x π y sin ( y ) d y d x

Thanks!
For the current problem, you don't really need to know about changing the order of integration. You can handle this problem using integration by parts.
I did not get this one!!!! :(

Let I ( α ) = ∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 x ln t x ( t α − 1 ) d t d x . Differentiating I ( α ) with respect to α yields d α d I I ( α ) = ∫ 0 1 x ∫ 0 x ∂ α ∂ [ ln t t α − 1 ] d t d x = ∫ 0 1 x ∫ 0 x t α d t d x = ∫ 0 1 α + 1 x α + 2 d t d x = ( α + 1 ) ( α + 3 ) 1 = 2 1 ∫ [ α + 1 1 − α + 3 1 ] d α = 2 1 ln ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ α + 3 α + 1 ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ + C . For α = 0 implying I ( 0 ) = 0 then C = 2 1 ln 3 . Hence I ( α ) = 2 1 ln ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ α + 3 3 ( α + 1 ) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ and I ( 3 ) = ∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 x ln t x ( t 3 − 1 ) d t d x = 2 1 ln 2 ≈ 0 . 3 4 6 5 7 4 .
