It should be noted that uniquely the limits of integration do not change for this problem. You can check this by plugging x=0, x=1 into x=u^6 which would give you the limits of integration for du, and are the same as for the original function

The last step of plugging in u=1, it should simplify to 6((1/3)-(1/2)+1-ln|2|=2-3+6-6ln|2|=5-6ln|2|
