integral of e^{-ax}

\int e^{- a x} d x

- \frac{1}{a} e^{- a x} + C

Solution steps

\int e^{- a x} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int - \frac{e ^{u}}{a} d u

= \int - \frac{e ^{u}}{a} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int e^{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int e^{u} d u = e^{u}

= - \frac{1}{a} e^{u}

Substitute back

u = - a x

= - \frac{1}{a} e^{- a x}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{a} e^{- a x} + C

\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{8}{7} y

y^{^{''}} + 144 y = sec (12 x)

\frac{1 - 4 ln ( x )}{x ^{5}}

\frac{d}{d x} (5 x^{- \frac{3}{5}})

\int \frac{1}{x ^{3} - 2 x ^{2} - 4 x + 8} d x
