SUMMARY
The integration problem presented involves the integral of 5e^(5x) * sin(e^(5x)) dx. The user correctly factored out the constant 5 and utilized the substitution method, letting u = e^(5x) and du = 5e^(5x) dx. This led to the simplified integral of u * sin(u), which the user integrated to obtain -u * cos(u) + C. The user confirmed the correctness of their solution shortly after posting.
