Thanks. Could u plz explain the steps you take. Thanks again, any help would be awesome.

Sorry.. was in a hurry to write and forgot to state what u have to do with it. It is differentiate. i'm just not sure how to differentiate the top half: ln5x

What do you want to do?

If you want to differentiate it use the quotient rule
d/dx[(ln5x)/5x)]
=[5x(1/x)-5ln5x]/25x2
=(1-ln5x)/5x2

Integration is not possible with standard 2u/3u methods, you'll have to use integration by parts

To differentiate the ln5x use the general formula of

d/dx[ln{f(x)}]=f'(x)/f(x)

So for you example

d/dx[ln5x]=5/5x=1/x
