$1/ln8$ [ x ln(2x+1) -x + $1/2$ ln(2x+1)] +C

To start with, change this to natural log. It would be $1/ln8$ ln(2x+1)

Now integrate it by parts assuming 1 as the other function multiplied to ln(2x+1).

The integral would be $1/ln8$ [ln(2x+1) x - $int$ $2/(2x+1)$ xdx]

= $1/ln8$ [x ln(2x+1) - $int$ $(2x+1-1)/(2x+1)$ dx

= $1/ln8$ [ x ln(2x+1) - $int$ dx + $int$ $1/(2x+1)$ dx

= $1/ln8$ [ x ln(2x+1) -x + $1/2$ ln(2x+1)] +C
