integral of (e^{-x})^2

integral

(e^{- x})^{2}

- \frac{1}{2} e^{- 2 x} + C

Solution steps

\int (e^{- x})^{2} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int - u d u

= \int - u d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int u d u

Apply the Power Rule

: \frac{u ^{2}}{2}

= - \frac{u ^{2}}{2}

Substitute back

u = e^{- x}

= - \frac{( e ^{- x} ) ^{2}}{2}

Simplify

- \frac{( e ^{- x} ) ^{2}}{2} : - \frac{1}{2} e^{- 2 x}

= - \frac{1}{2} e^{- 2 x}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} e^{- 2 x} + C

5 z^{4} + 5

\frac{x}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

e^{2} x

sin^{3} (x + 2)

(\frac{x + 1}{x})^{3}
