Set u=125a: We are asked to integrate the natural logarithm function ln(125a) with respect to a. The integral of ln(x) with respect to x is x⋅ln(x)−x+C, where C is the constant of integration. We will use this formula to integrate ln(125a) with respect to a.
Substitute u and da: First, let's set u=125a. This means that dadu=125, and thus da=512du. We will substitute u for 125a and da for 512du in the integral.
Apply integration formula: The integral becomes ∫ln(u)⋅(512)du. We can pull the constant (512) outside the integral, so it becomes (512)⋅∫ln(u)du.
Simplify the expression: Now we apply the integration formula for ln(u), which is u⋅ln(u)−u. The integral of ln(u) with respect to u is u⋅ln(u)−u+C.
Final answer: Substituting back in for u, we get \frac{\(12\)}{\(5\)} \cdot \left(\frac{\(5\)}{\(12\)}a\ln\left(\frac{\(5\)}{\(12\)}a\right) - \frac{\(5\)}{\(12\)}a\right) + C.
Final answer: Substituting back in for \(u, we get 512×(125aln(125a)−125a)+C. Simplify the expression by multiplying through by 512. This gives us aln(125a)−a+C′, where C′ is a new constant of integration that absorbs the 512×125 factor.
Final answer: Substituting back in for u, we get 512×(125aln(125a)−125a)+C. Simplify the expression by multiplying through by 512. This gives us aln(125a)−a+C′, where C′ is a new constant of integration that absorbs the 512×125 factor. The final answer is aln(125a)−a+C′, where C′ is the constant of integration.
