Question
Evaluate the following definite integrals:
$\int_{\text{e}}^\limits{\text{e}^2}\Big\{\frac{1}{\log\text{x}}-\frac{1}{(\log\text{x})^2}\Big\}\text{dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int_{\text{e}}^\limits{\text{e}^2}\Big\{\frac{1}{\log\text{x}}-\frac{1}{(\log\text{x})^2}\Big\}\text{dx}$ Then,
$\text{I}=\int_{\text{e}}^\limits{\text{e}^2}\frac{1}{\log\text{x}}\text{ dx}-\int_{\text{e}}^\limits{\text{e}^2}\frac{1}{(\log\text{x})^2}\text{ dx}$
Integrating by parts
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Bigg\{\Big[\frac{\text{x}}{\log\text{x}}\Big]^{\text{e}^2}_\text{e}-\int_{\text{e}}^\limits{\text{e}^2}\frac{-1}{\text{x}(\log\text{x})^2}\text{x dx}\Bigg\}-\int_{\text{e}}^\limits{\text{e}^2}\frac{1}{(\log\text{x})^2}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\frac{\text{x}}{\log\text{x}}\Big]^{\text{e}^2}_\text{e}+\int_{\text{e}}^\limits{\text{e}^2}\frac{1}{(\log\text{x})^2}\text{ dx}-\int_{\text{e}}^\limits{\text{e}^2}\frac{1}{(\log\text{x})}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\frac{\text{x}}{\log\text{x}}\Big]^{\text{e}^2}_\text{e}+0$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{\text{e}^2}{\log\text{e}^2}-\frac{\text{e}}{\log\text{e}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{\text{e}^2}{2\log\text{e}}-\frac{\text{e}}{\log\text{e}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{\text{e}^2}{2}-\text{e}$
