$${for}\:−\mathrm{1}<{x}<\mathrm{1}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +…=\underset{{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}{x}^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−{x}} \\ $$$$\underset{{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{{x}} {x}^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} {dx}=\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{{x}} \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−{x}}{dx} \\ $$$$\underset{{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\frac{{x}^{{n}} }{{n}}=−\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)\:\checkmark \\ $$
