integral of (e^{-t})*(1/t)

integral

(e^{- t}) \cdot (\frac{1}{t})

Ei (- t) + C

Solution steps

\int e^{- t} \frac{1}{t} d t

Simplify

e^{- t} \frac{1}{t} : \frac{e ^{- t}}{t}

= \int \frac{e ^{- t}}{t} d t

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{e ^{u}}{u} d u

Use the nonelementary integral:

\int \frac{e ^{x}}{x} d x = Ei (x)

= Ei (u)

Substitute back

u = - t

= Ei (- t)

Add a constant to the solution

= Ei (- t) + C
