f ( e ) + f ( 1 / e ) = 1 ∫ e t + 1 l n t d t + 1 ∫ 1 / e t + 1 l n t d t
put t = 1 / u in the second integral and you will get,
= 1 ∫ e t + 1 l n t d t + 1 ∫ e u ( u + 1 ) l n u d u = 1 ∫ e t l n t d t = 1 / 2
using a ∫ b f ( x ) d x = a ∫ b f ( t ) d t
Use substitution for t=1/z.

Define ψ ( x ) = f ( x ) + f ( 1 / x ) Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x using generalized Leibniz integral rule , we have ψ ′ ( x ) = 1 + x ln x + 1 + 1 / x ln ( 1 / x ) . − x 2 1 = x ln ( x ) Hence, ψ ( x ) = ∫ x ln ( x ) d x = 2 1 ln 2 ( x ) + C where C is the constant of integration. Putting x = 1 , we see that the lower and upper limits of both the integrals coincide (1). Hence ψ ( 1 ) = 0 . This in turn implies that C = 0 and hence ψ ( x ) = 2 1 ln 2 ( x ) We require f ( e ) + f ( 1 / e ) = ψ ( e ) = 2 1 ■
