The average concentration can be found by integrating the concentration from r_1 to r_2 (recall this is in polar coordinates, so the integral element would be r dr) and dividing the final result by r_2-r_1

So the answer is (integral c(r) r dr)/(r_2-r_1)

or  \integral{[(c_1 - c_2)/(ln(r_1) - ln(r_2)) (ln(r) - ln(r_2)) + c_2]r dr}/(r_2-r_1)

I won't have time to compute the entire integral in an "Easy question".

Please let me know if you need any clarification. Always glad to help!

That didn't help at all. You basically got me as far as I got on my own. I need to figure out how to integrate when I don't have numbers or and x. :/.
