Answer

\[\frac{1}{2}\ln\left|(\ln x)^2+\sqrt{(\ln x)^4+1}\right|+C\]

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int\frac{\ln x}{x\sqrt{1+(\ln x)^2}}dx\;\;\;\ldots(1)\] Substitute $t=(\ln x)^2$ ____(2) $\;\;\;\;\;\;dt=\frac{2(\ln x)}{x}dx$ \[I=\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{dt}{\sqrt{1+t^2}}\] \[\left[\; \int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2+a^2}}=\ln\left|x+\sqrt{x^2+a^2}\right|\;\right]\] \[I=\frac{1}{2}\ln|t+\sqrt{t^2+1}|+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration From (2) \[I=\frac{1}{2}\ln\left|(\ln x)^2+\sqrt{(\ln x)^4+1}\right|+C\] Hence, $I=\large\frac{1}{2}$ $\ln\left|(\ln x)^2+\sqrt{(\ln x)^4+1}\right|+C$.
