EvaluatingNon-ElementaryIntegrals
Thereare manysimple-lookingfunctionsthat haveno explicitformulafor their integralin the form of elemen-
tary functions.We couldwritetheir in- tegralsas TaylorSeriesin their intervalof convergence.
Example 1 Find a powerseriesrepresentationof
Solution.x-1 Since is not definedatx= 0, we applythe TaylorSeriesofexat,say,x= 1 by writingex=e.e
with a changeof variableu=x- 1.
