Math Problem Statement

∫(6e^(1/x)/x^2) dx

Solution

The integral in the image is:

6e1xx2dx\int \frac{6e^{\frac{1}{x}}}{x^2} \, dx

Let's solve this step by step. We can try substitution to handle the exponential term.

Step 1: Substitution

Let: u=1xu = \frac{1}{x} Then, the derivative of uu is: du=1x2dxdu = -\frac{1}{x^2} dx

This substitution simplifies the integral:

6e1xx2dx=6eu(du)=6eudu\int \frac{6e^{\frac{1}{x}}}{x^2} \, dx = 6 \int e^u (-du) = -6 \int e^u \, du

Step 2: Integrate

The integral of eue^u is just eue^u, so:

6eudu=6eu+C-6 \int e^u \, du = -6e^u + C

Step 3: Substitute back for uu

Now, substitute u=1xu = \frac{1}{x} back into the expression:

6e1x+C-6e^{\frac{1}{x}} + C

Final Answer:

The solution to the integral is:

6e1x+C-6e^{\frac{1}{x}} + C
