tried integrating over the input Ji exp (-x/ln)sigma nt Adx and I am totally stumped

1. Homework Statement [/b] A high energy beam of neutrons of intensity 10^6 s^-1 transverses a target of 238 U of thin foil whose density per unit area is 10^-1 kg m^-2. If the elastic and in elastic cross-sections are 1.4 and 2.0 b, respectively, calculate(a) the attenuation of the beam(b) the...
