Homework Statement
\int^{4}_{2} \frac{dx}{x\left(lnx\right)^{2}}
Homework Equations
Let u=lnx
du=\frac{1}{x}dx
x=2 \rightarrow u=ln2
x=4 \rightarrow u=ln4
The Attempt at a Solution
so with the u substitution we have:
\int^{ln4}_{ln2} \frac{1}{u^{2}}du
which goes to:
lnu^{2}\right|^{ln4}_{ln2}
then:
2\cdot lnu\right|^{ln4}_{ln2}
and when we work it out we get:
2\cdot\left[ln\left(ln4\right)-ln\left(ln2\right)\right]
and then:
2\cdot ln\left(\frac{ln4}{ln2}\right)
This is where I am stuck. I am supposed to get:
\frac{1}{ln4}
and I have no idea how they got that. Any help would be appreciated.
