Step 1: Recognize that the integral is of the form ∫(1 / (a + bt)) dt, which can be solved using the formula (1/b) * ln|a + bt| + C for indefinite integrals. For definite integrals, evaluate the result at the bounds.
Step 2: Identify the constants in the given integral. Here, a = 2 and b = 5. Rewrite the integral as ∫(1 / (2 + 5t)) dt with the bounds t = 1 to t = 6.
Step 3: Apply the formula for the integral. The antiderivative of 1 / (2 + 5t) is (1/5) * ln|2 + 5t|. For the definite integral, evaluate this expression at the upper and lower bounds.
Step 4: Substitute the upper bound t = 6 into the antiderivative to get (1/5) * ln|2 + 5(6)| = (1/5) * ln|32|.
Step 5: Substitute the lower bound t = 1 into the antiderivative to get (1/5) * ln|2 + 5(1)| = (1/5) * ln|7|. Subtract the result at the lower bound from the result at the upper bound to get the final value: (1/5) * [ln(32) - ln(7)] = (1/5) * ln(32/7).
