Correct Answer :

Option C

x33 +C ,where C is the constant of integration

Solution :

The correct answer is:
x 3 3 + C , where C is the constant of integration

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We are given the following integral to evaluate:
I = e 5 log e x e 4 log e x e 3 log e x e 2 log e x d x

To simplify this expression, we use a fundamental property of logarithms and exponents:
a log e b = log e ( b a )

Applying this property to each term in the exponents:
5 log e x = log e ( x 5 )
4 log e x = log e ( x 4 )
3 log e x = log e ( x 3 )
2 log e x = log e ( x 2 )

Next, we use another key identity relating exponents and logarithms with the same base:
e log e y = y

Substituting this identity back into our terms:
e 5 log e x = e log e ( x 5 ) = x 5
Similarly:
e 4 log e x = x 4
e 3 log e x = x 3
e 2 log e x = x 2

Substitute these simplified expressions back into the integral:
I = x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 d x

We can factor out common terms from the numerator and denominator:
I = x 4 ( x 1 ) x 2 ( x 1 ) d x

Assuming x>0 (so that the logarithms are defined) and x1, we cancel the common factor (x1) and simplify the fraction:
I = x 4 x 2 d x = x 2 d x

Now, apply the power rule for integration, xndx=xn+1n+1+C:
I = x 3 3 + C
