Evaluation the following integral.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{e}\frac{ 1-lnx }{ x }dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer should be 1/2. I just need to see how to do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seperate them. \[\Large \int\limits_{1}^{c} \frac{1}{x}dx-\int\limits_{1}^{c} \frac{\ln(x)}{x}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you integrate these ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there . can you integrate ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um. Well. I know that the integral of 1/x should be lnx.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean, you should be helping me with this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I keep getting an answer that's not 1/2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is not 1/2 .

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

One hint for the second integral: think about what the derivative of ln(x) is

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

You can do a u-substitution with that

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

\[\int\limits\limits_{1}^{c} \frac{1}{x}dx-\int\limits\limits_{1}^{c} \frac{\ln(x)}{x}dx\]\[=\ln(x)\Large|_1^{c}\small -\int\limits\limits_{1}^{c} \frac{\ln(x)}{x}dx\]\[= \ln(c)-\ln(1) -\int\limits\limits_{1}^{c} \frac{\ln(x)}{x}dx\] 2nd integral: Let u = ln x, du = 1/x dx at x = 1, u = ln(1)=0 at x = c, u = ln(c) \[\int\limits\limits_{0}^{\ln(c)} udu= \]\[\frac{u^2}{2}\Large|_0^{\ln(c)}= \frac{(\ln(c))^2}{2}-0\] All together: and since ln(1)=0: \(ln(c)-\frac{(ln(c))^2}{2}\)

Ended up with one half. Thanks.
