In Exercises \(19-30,\) evaluate the integral using antiderivatives, as in Example \(4 .\) $$\int _ { 1 } ^ { e } \frac { 1 } { x } d x$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the integral is 1.

Step by step solution

01

Find the Antiderivative

The antiderivative of \(1/x\) is \(\ln |x|\).
02

Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

The fundamental theorem of calculus states that, if a function is defined on an interval [a, b], and F is the indefinite integral of f on [a, b], then the definite integral from a to b of f(x) dx equals to F(b) - F(a). Therefore, we substitute the limits of integration e and 1 into the antiderivative \(\ln |x|\).
03

Evaluate the Integral

The integral equals \(\ln |e|\) - \(\ln |1|\). We know that \(\ln e = 1\) and \(\ln 1 = 0\). Therefore, the integral equals 1 - 0 = 1.
