integral from 2 to e+1 of x/(x-1)

\int_{2}^{e + 1} \frac{x}{x - 1} d x

e

Decimal

2.71828 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{2}^{e + 1} \frac{x}{x - 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int_{1}^{e} \frac{u + 1}{u} d u

= \int_{1}^{e} \frac{u + 1}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{u + 1}{u} : 1 + \frac{1}{u}

= \int_{1}^{e} 1 + \frac{1}{u} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int_{1}^{e} 1 d u + \int_{1}^{e} \frac{1}{u} d u

\int_{1}^{e} 1 d u = e - 1

\int_{1}^{e} \frac{1}{u} d u = 1

= e - 1 + 1

Simplify

= e

\int_{0}^{1} 2 e^{\frac{x}{3} + 4} + 5 d x

\int_{0}^{x} x^{2} d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( x )} d x

\int_{1}^{\infty} x^{2} e^{- x} d x

\int_{- 2}^{3} e^{\frac{x}{2}} d x
