If I_{1}=\int_{e}^{e^{2}}\frac{dx}{\ln x} and I_{2}=\int_{1}^{2}\frac{e^{x}}{x}\,dx, then which one of the following is correct?

  1. A. I_{1}-I_{2}=0
  2. B. I_{1}+I_{2}=0
  3. C. I_{1}-2I_{2}=0
  4. D. 2I_{1}-I_{2}=0

Correct Answer: A. I_{1}-I_{2}=0

Explanation

In I_1, use the substitution t = \ln x \implies x = e^t \implies dx = e^t dt. The limits change from x=e \to t=1 and x=e^2 \to t=2. Therefore, I_1 = \int_1^2 \frac{e^t}{t} \,dt, which is exactly identical to I_2. Thus, I_1 - I_2 = 0.
