Are you meant to be integrating wrt n? If so, reverse the order of the summation and the integral, using an appropriate theorem to justify this, and then integrate. There is an obvious substitution to make.

I don't see an integral...

Oops sorry, it should be [1,t) e^(1/x^7)/x^8

Not sure how to do this...

Assuming you mean $\displaystyle \int_1^t{\frac{e^{\frac{1}{x^7}}}{x^8}\,dx} = -\frac{1}{7}\int_1^t{e^{\frac{1}{x^7}}\left(-\frac{7}{x^8}\right)\,dx}$, make the substitution $\displaystyle u = \frac{1}{x^7} \implies du = -\frac{7}{x^8}\,dx$ and make note that $\displaystyle u(1) = 1$ and $\displaystyle u(t) = \frac{1}{t^7}$.
