ln(abslnx)+C

Explanation:

We have the integral:

int1/(xlnx)dx

Use substitution. Let u=lnx so that du=1/xdx. Note that both of these are currently present in the integral.

int1/(xlnx)dx=int(1/lnx)1/xdx=int1/udu

This is a common integral:

int1/udu=ln(absu)+C

Since u=lnx:

ln(absu)+C=ln(abslnx)+C
