Homework Statement



Suppose that the 0\int1 g(t)dt=5.
Compute the value of 1\inte g(ln(t))/t dt

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


I think that u substitution is the best way to solve.
If you set u=ln(t), then du=1/t dt which is in your integration. I do not know how to incorporate the given value of the integral of g(t) into the second integration, especially because the bounds of integration are different.

Thank you for any help!

When you u-substitute, substitute your boundaries as well. For example, when t = 1, what is ln(t)? Repeat with e.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
