integral from 1 to 2 of (4/x-e^{-x})

\int_{1}^{2} (\frac{4}{x} - e^{- x}) d x

4 ln (2) - \frac{1}{e} + \frac{1}{e ^{2}}

Decimal

2.54004 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{4}{x} - e^{- x} d x

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}^{2} \frac{4}{x} d x - \int_{1}^{2} e^{- x} d x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{4}{x} d x = 4 ln (2)

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

= 4 ln (2) - (\frac{1}{e} - \frac{1}{e ^{2}})

Simplify

= 4 ln (2) - \frac{1}{e} + \frac{1}{e ^{2}}
