Capitolo 7, Problema 7.2.47

Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 39–56.
47. ∫(from 2 to 4)dx/(x(ln x)²)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the integral to be evaluated: \(\int_{2}^{4} \frac{dx}{x (\ln x)^2}\).

Recognize that the integrand involves \(x\) and \(\ln x\), suggesting a substitution related to \(\ln x\).

Let \(u = \ln x\). Then, compute \(du\): since \(u = \ln x\), we have \(du = \frac{1}{x} dx\), which implies \(dx = x \, du\).

Rewrite the integral in terms of \(u\): substitute \(dx\) and \(x\) accordingly. The integral becomes \(\int_{u=\ln 2}^{u=\ln 4} \frac{x \, du}{x u^2} = \int_{\ln 2}^{\ln 4} \frac{du}{u^2}\).

Now, integrate \(\int \frac{1}{u^2} du = \int u^{-2} du\). Use the power rule for integration to find the antiderivative, then apply the limits \(u=\ln 2\) to \(u=\ln 4\).

Intro to Rational Functions

Substitution Method

A technique where a part of the integral is replaced with a new variable to simplify the integral. For example, substituting u = ln(x) transforms the integral into a more manageable form involving u.

25. First-order chemical reactions In some chemical reactions, the rate at which the amount of a substance changes with time is proportional to the amount present. For the change of δ-gluconolactone into gluconic acid, for example,

dy/dt = -0.6y

when t is measured in hours. If there are 100 grams of δ-gluconolactone present when t=0, how many grams will be left after the first hour?
