Indefinite Integration

Question:

The integral $I =\int\frac{e^{5\log_ex}-e^{4\log_ex}}{e^{3\log_ex} - e^{2\log_ex}}dx$ is equal to

Options:

$\frac{x}{2}+C$, where C is the constant of integration

$\frac{x^2}{2}+C$, where C is the constant of integration

$\frac{x^3}{3}+C$, where C is the constant of integration

$\frac{x^4}{4}+C$, where C is the constant of integration

Correct Answer:

$\frac{x^3}{3}+C$, where C is the constant of integration

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{x^3}{3}+C$, where C is the constant of integration

I=$\int \frac{e^{5\ln x}-e^{4\ln x}}{e^{3\ln x}-e^{2\ln x}}\,dx$

$e^{k\ln x}=x^{k}$, so

I=$\int \frac{x^{5}-x^{4}}{x^{3}-x^{2}}\,dx$

I=$\int \frac{x^{4}(x-1)}{x^{2}(x-1)}\,dx$

I=$\int x^{2}\,dx$

I=$\frac{x^{3}}{3}+C$

Final answer: $\frac{x^{3}}{3}+C$
