Answer

$\frac{21}{2}\ln2$

Work Step by Step

We begin with the iterated integral: $$\int_1^4\int_1^2\bigg(\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}\bigg)\,dy\,dx$$ Solving the inner integral, we get: $$\int_1^4\bigg[x\ln{|y|}+\frac{y^2}{2x}\bigg]_{y=1}^{y=2}\,dx\\ =\int_1^4\bigg(x\ln{2}+\frac{4}{2x}-0-\frac{1}{2x}\bigg)\,dx\\ =\int_1^4\bigg(x\ln{2}+\frac{3}{2x}\bigg)\,dx$$ Integrating, we get: $$\bigg[\frac{x^2\ln{2}}{2}+\frac{3}{2}\ln{|x|}\bigg]_{1}^4=\\ 8\ln2+\frac{3}{2}\ln4-\frac{1}{2}\ln2-0\\ =\frac{15}{2}\ln{2}+\frac{3}{2}ln{4}\\ =\frac{15}{2}\ln{2}+\frac{3}ln{2}\\ =\frac{21}{2}\ln2$$
