Recognize Inverse Relationship: Recognize that the natural logarithm function is the inverse of the exponential function.We have the integral:∫13x7lnxdxNotice that 7lnx can be rewritten using properties of exponents and logarithms as xln7, since alnb=blna.So, the integral becomes:∫13xxln7dx
Rewrite Integral with Exponents: Simplify the integrand.The x in the denominator cancels out one x from the numerator, simplifying the integral to:∫13xln7−1dxNow, the integral is:∫13xln7−1dx
Simplify Integrands: Integrate using the power rule for integration.The power rule states that the integral of xn is (x(n+1))/(n+1)+C, where n=−1.Applying the power rule, we get:∫13x(ln7−1)dx=[ln7x(ln7)] from 1 to 3
Apply Power Rule: Evaluate the definite integral.We need to evaluate the expression at the upper and lower limits of the integral and subtract:[ln73(ln7)]−[ln71(ln7)]Since any number to the power of 0 is 1, 1(ln7) is 1.So, the evaluation becomes:[ln73(ln7)]−[ln71]
Evaluate Definite Integral: Calculate the final answer.We can now compute the values:[ln73(ln7)]−[ln71]=ln73(ln7)−1
