Exercise · ZW-FUNDAMENTAL-THEOREM-OF-CALCULUS-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate
Compute \(\displaystyle\int_{1}^{e} \frac{1}{x}\,dx\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(1\)
Explanation
An antiderivative is \(F(x)=\ln{\left(x \right)}\). By the fundamental theorem, the integral is \(F(e)-F(1)=1\).
Review the concept: Fundamental theorem of calculus
It links derivatives and integrals: a definite integral equals an antiderivative evaluated at the endpoints, and differentiating an integral with variable upper limit returns the integrand.
\[\begin{gathered}\int_a^b f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\\ \frac{d}{dx}\int_a^x f(t)\,dt=f(x)\end{gathered}\]
