SUMMARY

The integral from e to infinity of 67/(x(ln(x))^3) converges, yielding a value of 67/2. By applying the substitution u = ln(x), the integral simplifies to -1/2 times the integral from 1 to infinity of 1/u^2 du. This transformation confirms the convergence and provides a straightforward method to evaluate the integral.

And I would agree with you...

Using the substitution [tex]u=\ln{x}[/tex], the integral

[tex]\int_e^\infty \frac{1}{x(\ln{x})^3} \, dx[/tex]

becomes

[tex]-\frac{1}{2} \int_1^\infty \frac{1}{u^2} \, du.[/tex]
