How do you use substitution to integrate (ln(5x)/x)*dx(ln(5x)x)dx?

The integral is evaluated below.

Explanation:

We have to evaluate the integral,

int Ln (5x)/x*dxln(5x)xdx

Let, Ln (5x) = tln(5x)=t
implies Ln x + Ln 5 = tlnx+ln5=t

therefore 1/x + 0 = (dt)/dx (Differentiating with respect to x)

implies dt = dx/x

Now, let us attack our problem and substitute dt in place of dx/x and the integral becomes,

int t*dt = t^2/2 + C

In terms of x,

int Ln (5x)/x*dx = (Ln (5x))^2/2 + C
