Improper integrals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{1}\ln( e x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure why you would use improper integrals when one of the domain is a constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should memorize the anti derivative of \(\ln(x)\) because it is very common. otherwise you have to do a rather simple integration by parts, but the anti derivative is \[x\ln(x)-x\] in your case you have to adjust for the constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh it is improper because the log is not defined at 0 it goes to minus infinity there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw don't forget that \[\ln(ex)=\ln(e)+\ln(x)=1+\ln(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have \[\int_0^1dx+\int_0^1\ln(x)dx=1+\int_0^1\ln(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is 1?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

0

@satelite73 Why did you use integration by parts?
