[R] MLE

HiI have a probability mass function similar to pr(N=n)= integral(((2-x)^n)*(exp(ax-2))) - integral (((5-ax)^n)),   both integrals are defined over the interval(0,2) with respect to x. I am going to estimate the parameter (a) with method of maximum likelihood estimation. The loglikelihood   is :
