SUMMARY

The integral of $\frac{\ln(t^2)}{t}$ can be simplified using substitution. By letting $u = \ln(t)$, the integral transforms into $2\int u \, du$. The final result is $(\ln(t))^2 + C$, where $C$ is the constant of integration. The key takeaway is the application of the property $\ln(t^2) = 2\ln(t)$ to facilitate the integration process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integral calculus

$\int\frac{\ln\left({t^2}\right)}{t}dt$

$\frac{1}{2}\int\ln\left({t}\right)\frac{1}{t}dt$

$u=\ln\left({t}\right)\ du=\frac{1}{t}dt$

$\frac{1}{2}\int u\ du$I continued but didn't get the answer

Hint: $\frac{\ln(t^2)}{t}= 2 \frac{\ln(t)}{t}$.
The rest of your evaluation is correct.
 
$\ln(x^2) = 2\ln(x)$. You put the 2 in the denominator.
 
So its.
$2\int\ u \ du$

$2 \left[\frac{u^2}{2}\right]+C$
 
Yep, and the 2's would cancel.
 
$(\ln\left({t}\right))^2+C$
