Why Does Maple Return Symbolic Answers When Integrating Functions?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the issue of Maple returning symbolic answers when attempting to integrate a specific function. The function in question is defined as j2out(x):=c2*x*exp(int((s-vout(s))/s/vout(s),s=0.0015..x), with vout(s) set to a constant value of 0.07595560773650. Despite attempts to evaluate the integral using evalf, users report that Maple does not simplify the expression as expected, returning the original symbolic form instead.

Hi every body

I am trying to intergrate the following function using Maple:

j2out(x):=c2*x*exp(int((s-vout(s))/s/vout(s),s=0.0015..x));

where vout(s)=0.07595560773650. C2 is constant

but when I do, it returns a symbolic answers i.e Maple just returns the original expression without doing any thing even if I try evalf.

Any suggestion out there?
