The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea how to solve this, but it's on our sample exam and there are no solutions... =/ Differentiating with respect to x gives me:
d/dx((t^x - 1)/ln(t)) = ln(t)e^(xln(t))/ln(t) + 0 = e^(xln(t)) = t^x
Can I use this in any way? Maybe substitute t^x in the integral with d/dx(t^x - 1)/ln(t)?
Any clues appreciated!
