Homework Statement

In solving a question I got a problem of solving the following integral. Your comments are appreciated.

Homework Equations

\int_{-1}^{1}xP_l'(x)dx=?

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried to solve by integration by parts, i.e.
\left{}xP_l(x)\right{|}_{-1}^{1}-\int_{-1}^{1}P_l(x) but I can't get the simple solution to \int_{-1}^{1}P_l(x)
