Find a given logarithmic definite integral Find the following integral, where $a$ is a real number bigger than $1$:
$$\int_1^{a^2} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt x(x + a)}\,\mathrm dx.$$
By using the substitution $t = \sqrt x$, I got this new integral which seems to be easier to solve, but I haven't found any way to do it yet:
$$4\int_1^a \frac{\ln t}{t^2 + a}\,\mathrm dt.$$
Thank you in advance!
 A: Let $t=\sqrt{x}$
\begin{equation}
I = \int\limits_{1}^{a^{2}} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(x+a)} dx
= 4 \int\limits_{1}^{a} \frac{\ln t}{t^{2}+a} dt
\end{equation}
Integrating by parts, we have
\begin{align}
I_{1} &= \int\limits_{1}^{a} \frac{\ln t}{t^{2}+a} dt \\
&= \frac{\ln t}{\sqrt{a}} \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{t}{\sqrt{a}} \right) \Big|_{1}^{a}
\, - \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}} \int\limits_{1}^{a} \frac{1}{t} \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{t}{\sqrt{a}} \right) dt \\
&= \frac{\ln a}{\sqrt{a}} \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{a})
\, - \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}} \int\limits_{1}^{a} \frac{1}{t} \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{t}{\sqrt{a}} \right) dt
\end{align}
Let $y=t/ \sqrt{a}$
\begin{align}
I_{2} &= \int\limits_{1}^{a} \frac{1}{t} \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{t}{\sqrt{a}} \right) dt
= \int\limits_{1/\sqrt{a}}^{\sqrt{a}} \frac{1}{y} \tan^{-1}(y) dy \\
\tag{a}
&= \frac{i}{2} \left[ \int\limits_{1/\sqrt{a}}^{\sqrt{a}} \frac{\ln (1-iy)}{y} dy 
\, - \int\limits_{1/\sqrt{a}}^{\sqrt{a}} \frac{\ln (1+iy)}{y} dy \right] \\
\tag{b}
&= \frac{i}{2} \left[ \mathrm{Li}_{2}(-iy) - \mathrm{Li}_{2}(iy) \right] \Big|_{1/\sqrt{a}}^{\sqrt{a}} \\
&= \frac{i}{2} \left( \left[ \mathrm{Li}_{2}(-i\sqrt{a}) + \mathrm{Li}_{2}\left(\frac{i}{\sqrt{a}}\right) \right]
- \left[ \mathrm{Li}_{2}(i\sqrt{a}) + \mathrm{Li}_{2}\left(\frac{-i}{\sqrt{a}}\right) \right] \right) \\
\tag{c}
&= \frac{i}{2} \left( \left[ -\frac{\pi ^{2}}{6} - \frac{1}{2} \ln ^{2}(i\sqrt{a}) \right]
- \left[ -\frac{\pi ^{2}}{6} - \frac{1}{2} \ln ^{2}(-i\sqrt{a}) \right] \right) \\
\tag{d}
&= \frac{\pi}{4} \ln a
\end{align}
a. $\tan^{-1}(y) = \frac{i}{2} [\ln (1-iy) - \ln (1+iy)]$
b. Dilogarithm function
\begin{equation}
\mathrm{Li}_{2}(z) = -\int_{0}^{z} \frac{\ln (1-x)}{x} dx
\end{equation}
c. Use the identity
\begin{equation}
\mathrm{Li}_{2}(z) + \mathrm{Li}_{2}(1/z) = -\frac{\pi ^{2}}{6} - \frac{1}{2} \ln ^{2}(-z)
\end{equation}
d. $\ln (\pm iz) = \ln z \pm i\pi /2$
Now we have
\begin{equation}
I = 4I_{1} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{a}} (\ln a) \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{a}) \, - \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{a}} \ln a
\end{equation}
