integral from 0 to 1 of 1/2 e^{-x/2}

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{2} e^{- \frac{x}{2}} d x

1 - \frac{1}{e}

Decimal Notation

0.39346 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{2} e^{- \frac{x}{2}} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{1} e^{- \frac{x}{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int_{0}^{- \frac{1}{2}} - 2 e^{u} d u

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{- \frac{1}{2}} - 2 e^{u} d u

\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = - \int_{b}^{a} f (x) d x, a < b

= \frac{1}{2} (- \int_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0} - 2 e^{u} d u)

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} (- (- 2 \cdot \int_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0} e^{u} d u))

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{2} (- (- 2 [e^{u}]_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0}))

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (- (- 2 [e^{u}]_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0})) : [e^{u}]_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0}

= [e^{u}]_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0}

Compute the boundaries:

1 - \frac{1}{e}

= 1 - \frac{1}{e}

\int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{1}{1 + e ^{x}} d x

\int_{0}^{1} x (x + 5) d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{3} x d x

\int_{- 2}^{3} (x + 6 - x^{2}) d x

\int_{0}^{π} 9 x cos (3 x) d x
