Homework Statement


True or false?

ln(1/10) = -[tex]\int[/tex] dx/x

The Attempt at a Solution



I have no idea where to start on this one.

what is dx/x ??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
right side means that u are supposed to integrate with respect to x

-Integrate[1/x] with respect to x
 
This is obviously not true as posted. Are there limits of integration that we're not seeing?
I.e., does the integral look like this?
[tex]-\int_1^{10} \frac{dx}{x}[/tex]
 
ok I get it. the limits are missing, it must be a typo, but otherwise this makes sense to me now thanks
