Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 111–114.
112. ∫₁^(eˣ) (1 / t) dt
Verified step by step guidance1
Recognize that the integral is a definite integral with variable upper limit: \(\int_1^{e^x} \frac{1}{t} \, dt\).
Recall the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1, which states that if \(F(x) = \int_a^{g(x)} f(t) \, dt\), then \(F'(x) = f(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)\).
Identify the integrand function as \(f(t) = \frac{1}{t}\) and the upper limit as \(g(x) = e^x\).
Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to differentiate the integral with respect to \(x\): \(\frac{d}{dx} \int_1^{e^x} \frac{1}{t} \, dt = \frac{1}{e^x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx} (e^x)\).
Calculate the derivative of the upper limit: \(\frac{d}{dx} (e^x) = e^x\), then multiply by the integrand evaluated at \(e^x\) to get the derivative of the integral.

Definition of the Definite Integral
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
This theorem connects differentiation and integration, stating that if F is an antiderivative of f, then the definite integral of f from a to b equals F(b) - F(a). It allows evaluating integrals by finding antiderivatives.
