Answer

Add the results of the two integrals to get the final answer: \(\boxed{\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3e^{6}}{2}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Split the integral into two separate integrals: \(\int_{1}^{e^{3}} 3x dx\) and \(\int_{1}^{e^{3}} \frac{1}{x} dx\).

Step 2 :Solve the first integral using the power rule to get the antiderivative \(\frac{3x^{2}}{2}\).

Step 3 :Solve the second integral using the logarithmic rule to get the antiderivative \(\ln(x)\).

Step 4 :Substitute the upper and lower limits of the integral into the antiderivatives to get \(\frac{3e^{6}}{2} - \frac{3}{2}\) and \(3\ln(e^{3}) - \ln(1)\).

Step 5 :Simplify the results to get \(\frac{3e^{6}}{2} - \frac{3}{2}\) and \(3\cdot3 - 0\).

Step 6 :Add the results of the two integrals to get the final answer: \(\boxed{\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3e^{6}}{2}}\).
