0 201 4 2013 x 201 4 2014 x x \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{2014^{-2013x} - 2014^{-2014x}}{x} Consider function, f ( a ) = 0 201 4 a x 201 4 2014 x x f(a)= \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{2014^{-ax} - 2014^{-2014x}}{x} f ( 2014 ) = 0 f(2014)=0 . Now, differentiating under integration technique, just differentiate and integrate. We get log ( 2014 2013 ) \log(\frac{2014}{2013}) .

Otherwise, just use Frullani theorem.

Sorry? I didn't get it. "Frullani thorem"? Differentiating under integration technique? I did it very differently. I haven't heard of these. Can you explain, please?

Can you please explain which technique have you used for integrating ?

Frullani's integral identity tells us that -

0 f ( a x ) f ( b x ) x d x = ( f ( 0 ) lim x f ( x ) ) ln ( b a ) \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac {f(ax)- f(bx)}{x} dx = (f(0) - \lim_{x \to \infty} f(x)) \cdot \ln \left(\frac {b}{a}\right)

when the limit exists. Letting f ( x ) = 201 4 x f(x) = 2014^{-x} , the integral becomes -

0 201 4 2013 x 201 4 2014 x x d x = ln ( 2014 2013 ) \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac {2014^{-2013x}-2014^{-2014x}} {x} dx = \ln\left(\frac {2014}{2013}\right)
