tell if integral 1/(xlnx) from 0 to 1/e converge or diverge?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use a substitution here, let u=lnx, then it's derivative is a equivalent representation of what you have in the function already present.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would get ln(ln x) but that doesnt tell me if it converge or diverge

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

substitute the limits then...if you get \(\infty\) then it diverges...it converges if you get a "real" answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see, I get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it diverges, since my calc says domain error

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just don't write that down on an exam *smiles*.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol. okay, but it does diverge rt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rather that the natural log of zero is undefined (which is what your calculator tells you indeed), undefined means that the limit doesn't exist, a bit far fetched in this context since we're dealing with an integral, but yes it diverges.
