Answer

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int_1^e {\frac{{\ln x}}{x}} dx \cr & {\text{Let }}u = \ln x,{\text{ }}du = \frac{1}{2}dx \cr & {\text{The new limits of integration are}} \cr & x = e \to u = 1 \cr & x = 1 \to u = 0 \cr & {\text{Substitute and integrate}} \cr & \int_1^e {\frac{{\ln x}}{x}} dx = \int_0^1 u du \cr & = \left[ {\frac{{{u^2}}}{2}} \right]_0^1 \cr & = \frac{{{{\left( 1 \right)}^2}}}{2} - \frac{{{{\left( 0 \right)}^2}}}{2} \cr & = \frac{1}{2} \cr} $$
