I'm trying to find the shaded area enclosed by y = lnx, y =1, y=3 and the y-axis

Answer in terms of e.

Help please...?? :confused:

I'd prefer the method by the way, I'd like to get the answer myself, otherwise I won't understand, thanks :smile:

First things first. Sketch the three lines so you know what your looking for. Then you should see an integral forming between two limits.
