Nice alternative method...
The substitution x = y − 1 gives us that ∫ 0 ∞ 1 + x 2 ln x d x = − ∫ 0 ∞ 1 + y 2 ln y d y = 0 and now the sibstitution x = N u gives ∫ 0 ∞ N 2 + x 2 ln x d x = N 1 ∫ 0 ∞ 1 + u 2 ln N + ln u d u = N 1 ln N ∫ 0 ∞ 1 + u 2 d u = 2 N 1 π ln N With N = 2 5 we see that I = 5 0 1 π ln 2 5 = 2 5 1 π ln 5 , making the answer 2 5 + 5 = 3 0 .
Wow, I feel so silly for not noticing the easy way to show that integral is zero... nice.
Nice solution! There was an insignificant typo, though.
I did the same!
This is how l solved it.

An alternate way of approaching the problem:
I = ∫ 0 ∞ N 2 + x 2 ln x d x
Let: x = N tan θ d x = N sec 2 θ d θ
When x = 0 , θ = 0 and when x = ∞ , θ = π / 2 . This gives:
I = ∫ 0 2 π N 2 + N 2 tan 2 θ ln ( N tan θ ) N sec 2 θ d θ
I = ∫ 0 2 π N 2 sec 2 θ ln ( N tan θ ) N sec 2 θ d θ
I = N 1 ∫ 0 2 π ln ( N tan θ ) d θ
Knowing that:
∫ a b f ( x ) d x = ∫ a b f ( a + b − x ) d x
I = N 1 ∫ 0 2 π ln ( N cot θ ) d θ
Therefore:
2 I = N 1 ∫ 0 2 π ( ln ( N tan θ ) + ln ( N cot θ ) ) d θ
I = 2 N 1 ∫ 0 2 π ln ( N 2 ) d θ
I = N ln ( N ) ∫ 0 2 π d θ
I = 2 N π ln ( N )
Taking N = 2 5 gives:
I = 5 0 π ln ( 2 5 ) = 2 5 π ln ( 5 )
This leads to: m = 2 5 and n = 5 and therefore the final answer is:
m + n = 3 0
