THE INTEGRATION OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
The following problems involve the integration of exponential functions. We will assume knowledge of the
following well-known differentiation formulas :
where , and
where a is any positive constant not equal to 1 and is the natural (base e) logarithm of a . These formulas
lead immediately to the following indefinite integrals :
1.
2.
As you do the following problems, remember these three general rules for integration :
where n is any constant not equal to -1,
where k is any constant, and
Because the integral
where k is any nonzero constant, appears so often in the following set of problems, we will find a formula for it
now using u-substitution so that we don't have to do this simple process each time. Begin by letting

u=kx
so that
du = k dx ,
or
(1/k)du = dx .
Now substitute into the original problem, replacing all forms of x, and getting
We now have the following variation of formula 1.) :
3. .
The following often-forgotten, misused, and unpopular rules for exponents will also be helpful :
and
Most of the following problems are average. A few are challenging. Knowledge of the method of u-substitution
will be required on many of the problems. Make precise use of the differential notation dx and du and always be
careful when arithmetically and algebraically simplifying expressions.
