Let
I = ∫ 0 ∞ 1 0 0 x ⋅ ( e 5 x + 1 ) e 1 0 x d x
Lets manipulate the part highlighted in blue. Assume that 1 0 x = t , so that part becomes
e 2 t + 1 e t = e t + e t 1 1 = e t + e − t 1 = 2 1 ⋅ e t + e − t 2 = 2 1 ⋅ cosh ( t ) 1 = 2 1 ⋅ cosh ( 1 0 x ) 1
Thus, our integral is
I = ∫ 0 ∞ 1 0 0 x ⋅ 2 1 ⋅ cosh ( 1 0 x ) 1 d x = 1 0 1 [ 2 1 ∫ 0 ∞ cosh ( 1 0 x ) ( 1 0 x ) d x ] = 1 0 1 ⋅ 1 0 G ( ⋆ ) = G = 0 . 9 1
One of the many known integral representations of G ( Catalan's Constant ) include
G = 2 1 ∫ 0 ∞ cosh t t d t
The substitution u = e 1 0 x or u = e 1 0 − x transforms it into one of the many integral definitions of Catalan's Constant .

Same solution as @Jack Lam , presented in more detail.
I = ∫ 0 ∞ 1 0 0 ( e 5 x + 1 ) x e 1 0 x d x = ∫ 1 ∞ 1 0 0 ( u 2 + 1 ) 1 0 ln u ⋅ u ⋅ u 1 0 d u = ∫ 1 ∞ u 2 + 1 ln u d u = G ≈ 0 . 9 1 5 9 6 6 Let u = e 1 0 x ⟹ x = 1 0 ln u , d x = u 1 0 d u
where G is Catalan's constant .
