Integrate by parts: $\int \ln (2x + 1) \, dx$
This question has answers here and I was wondering about the last answer to the question which is the way I did it, got a different answer?

Here is the answer,
Is doing u-substitution, and then integration by parts a wrong method here? Because in my textbook the answer there is a ones in the other answers.
Answer
You should find
$$[x\ln (2x+1)]-\int x\frac {2}{2x+1}dx $$
$$=x\ln (2x+1)-\int \frac {2x+1-1}{2x+1}dx $$
$$=x\ln (2x+1)-x+\frac {1}{2}\ln (2x+1) +C$$
$$=\frac {2x+1}{2}\ln (2x+1)-x+C $$
You can also put $u=2x+1$ to get
$$\int \ln (u)\frac {du}{2}=\frac {1}{2}(u\ln (u)-u)+K $$ $$=\frac {2x+1}{2}\ln (2x+1)-x-\frac {1}{2}+K $$
with $C=K-1/2$.
