Explanation:

Firstly, we'll try to simplify the integrand. By hint 1, we see that:


\ln(x^2) = 2\ln(x)

Simplifying the integrand gives us:


(1)/(8)\left((1)/(x(\ln(x))^3)\right)

Next, by hint 2, we observe that:


(d)/(dx)\left(\ln(x)\right) = (1)/(x)

So this tells us to make the substitution:
u = \ln(x)

Doing so gives us:


\int (dx)/(x(ln(x^2))^3) = \int (du)/(8u^3), which should be trivial.
