integral of ae^{-at}

\int a e^{- a t} d t

- e^{- a t} + C

Solution steps

\int a e^{- a t} d t

Take the constant out:

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

= a \cdot \int e^{- a t} d t

Apply u-substitution

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

= a \cdot \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

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

Use the common integral:

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

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

Substitute back

u = - a t

= a (- \frac{1}{a} e^{- a t})

Simplify

a (- \frac{1}{a} e^{- a t}) : - e^{- a t}

= - e^{- a t}

Add a constant to the solution

= - e^{- a t} + C

3 x^{2} e^{x} + e^{x} (x^{3} + 4)

\int x^{5} e^{x^{6}} d x

(- 3.5) (2.1)

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

\int \frac{1}{1 - t ^{2}} d t
