The area enclosed by the curves
$y=\ln (x), y=1+\ln (x)$ is approximately 3 square units.

To find the area enclosed by , and x=4, we first need to determine the intersection point of the curves
$\ln (x)$ and
$1+\ln (x)$.

Setting
$y=\ln (x)$ and
$y=1+\ln (x)$ equal to each other:


\ln (x)=1+\ln (x)


\ln (x)-\ln (x)=1

0=1 - This implies there's no intersection.

Therefore, the region enclosed is bounded by
$y=\ln (x), y=1+\ln (x)$, and x=4 from x=1 to x=4.

Using integration:
$\int_1^4((1+\ln (x))-\ln (x)) d x$

Solving the integral:
$\int_1^4(1 d x)=\left.x\right|_1 ^4=4-1=3$

Hence, the area of the enclosed region is 3 square units.
