Definite Integration
Substitution in Definite Integral
Grade 12

Question:

<p>Evaluate \(\displaystyle\int_1^e \frac{\ln x}{x}\,dx\)</p>
1/2
1
e/2
2

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Let t = ln x, dt = dx/x. Limits: x=1 \to t=0; x=e \to t=1.
<div class='solution'> <p>Let \(t = \ln x \Rightarrow dt = \dfrac{dx}{x}\).</p> <p>When \(x=1: t=0\); when \(x=e: t=1\).</p> <p>\[\int_1^e\frac{\ln x}{x}\,dx = \int_0^1 t\,dt = \left[\frac{t^2}{2}\right]_0^1 = \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}\]</p> </div>
