Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}\cdot\ln|5x-1|+C$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \int\frac{1}{5x-1}dx=\int(5x-1)^{-1}dx$ Shortcut formula: $\displaystyle \qquad\int(ax+b)^{-1}dx=\frac{1}{a}\ln|ax+b|+C$ With $ \left[\begin{array}{l} a=5\\ b=-1 \end{array}\right],$ = $\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}\cdot\ln|5x-1|+C$
