Simplify Integrand: Simplify the integrand using properties of logarithms and exponents.We have the integral of (7ln(x))/(x) from 1 to 3. We can use the property of exponents that aln(b)=bln(a) to simplify the integrand. Since ln(x) is the exponent to which the base 'e' must be raised to produce x, we can rewrite 7ln(x) as xln(7). This gives us the new integrand x(ln(7)−1).
Set Up Integral: Set up the integral with the simplified integrand.The integral becomes ∫13xln(7)−1dx. We can now integrate this expression with respect to x.
Integrate Function: Integrate the function x(ln(7)−1) with respect to x. The antiderivative of xn is (n+1)x(n+1)+C, where n=−1. In our case, n=ln(7)−1, which is not equal to −1, so we can apply this rule. The antiderivative is (ln(7))x(ln(7))+C.
Evaluate Definite Integral: Evaluate the definite integral from 1 to 3. We substitute the limits of integration into the antiderivative to get: (ln(7)3(ln(7)))−(ln(7)1(ln(7))). Since any number to the power of 0 is 1, 1(ln(7)) is 1. Therefore, the expression simplifies to: (ln(7)3(ln(7)))−ln(7)1.
Calculate Integral Value: Calculate the value of the definite integral.We need to calculate 3(ln(7)) which is the same as e(ln(3)∗ln(7)) since 3(ln(7))=e(ln(3)∗ln(7)). We then divide this by ln(7) and subtract (ln(7))1 to get the final answer.The final value is (ln(7)e(ln(3)∗ln(7)))−ln(7)1.
