Need take a look at integration culculus

$\int_{1}^{e} 2^l *\frac{1}{X} \, dx$ .
U=1/x $dv=2^l$
du=lnxdx v=2^l/ln2
I= $\frac{2^l}{ln2}-\int 2^l*\frac{1}{x}$
Is it good?
"l" mean "lnx"

U=1/x du=lnxdx

That is not right: $du=-dx/x^2$ . Better use the substitution $t=\ln x$ . Then:

$\displaystyle\int_0^e 2^{\ln x}\cdot \dfrac{dx}{x}=\displaystyle\int_0^12^tdt=\ldots$

Could you continue?.

Sorry, but I do not understand...
WHy I can not do like this?

because ln(x) is the integral of 1/x, not the derivative. If u= 1/x then $du= -1/x^2 dx$ not "ln x dx". That is precisely what FernandoRevilla said before. Instead of integration by parts, use the simple substitution t= ln x that FernandoRevilla suggested.

$2^{\ln(x)}=e^{\ln(2)\ln(x)}=x^{\ln(2)}$

$\displaystyle\int_0^e 2^{\ln x}\cdot \dfrac{dx}{x}=\displaystyle\int_0^12^tdt=2-1=1$
t=lnx
t=ln1=0

Is it good? or I'm wrong?

You are collectivly making a meal of this:

$\displaystyle \int_1^e \frac{2^{\ln(x)}}{x}\;dx=\int_1^e x^{\ln(2)-1}\;dx=\left[ \frac{1}{\ln(2)} x^{\ln(2)}\right]_1^e$

............. $\displaystyle =\frac{1}{\ln(2)}(e^{\ln(2)}-1^{\ln(2)})=\frac{1}{\ln(2)}(2-1)=\frac{1}{\ln(2)}$
