Let's transform the given integral to the form of, I ( a ) = ∫ 0 1 ln x x a − 1 with the given limits.The given integral equals ln ( a + 1 ) .For this we shall transform the inner term as ln x x a − 1 = ∫ y = 0 a x y d y ) .Now that we have two integrals we may use Fubinis Theorem to switch our integrals.The rest is easy and it yields the required result as ln ( a + 1 ) .Now set a = 7 , I = ln 8 = 3 ln 2 = 2 . 0 7 9 4 Aliter-Feynmans Trick
