I=515(arctan(275)arctan(15))
I0.15915

Explanation:

We wish to solve ln30e3xe6x+5dx.

We note that e6x=(e3x)2 and make the u-substitution u=e3x. It follows that du=3e3xdx.

We prepare our integral for the substitution by multiplying by 33.

13ln303e3x(e3x)2+5dx

Note that our lower bound becomes e30=1 and our upper bound becomes e3ln3=eln(33)=33=27.

132711u2+5du

This nearly looks like the proper form to yield arctan(u), but the 5 needs to be a 1. We factor out the 5 and make another substitution.

1327115(u25+1)du=1152711(u5)2+1du

Let v=u5. Then dv=15du. This yields the integral:

515275151v2+1dv

This is the proper form to yield arctan(v). Evaluating yields:

515[arctanv]27515
=515(arctan(275)arctan(15))
0.15915
