Answer

$$\int_{1}^{3}\frac{e^{\frac{3}{x}}}{x^{2}}dx=\frac{1}{3}(e^{3}-e)$$

Work Step by Step

Let: $$t =\frac{3}{x},\,dx=-\frac{3}{t^{2}}dt$$ $$\int_{1}^{3}\frac{e^{\frac{3}{x}}}{x^{2}}dx=\int_{3}^{1}\frac{e^{t}}{\frac{9}{t^{2}}}(-\frac{3}{t^{2}})dt=-\frac{1}{3}\int_{3}^{1}e^{t}dt$$ $$=-\frac{1}{3}\left [ e^{t} \right ]_{3}^{1}=\frac{1}{3}(e^{3}-e)$$
