INTEGRATION OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION
Using the following Formulas
E1. ∫ e du = e u +C
u
where a¿ 0 , a ≠ 1
u
a
E2. ∫ a du =
u
+C

examples :
1. ∫ e4 x| dx
SOLUTION : here let u = 4x, then du = 4dx( the derivative of 4x) therefore neutralizing factor is
1 4 dx
(nf) = ( the reciprocal of by E1
4 1
1 4x
; ∫ e dx = e + C

To check :( 4) ( ) e 4 x

= e 0r e 4 xdx

2. ∫ e2 x
dx
SOLUTION: transform from fractional into exponential form, therefore from ∫ 2 x into ∫ e
−2 x
e
dx
−1
So let u = -2x, then du = -2dx therefore nf = -
2
dx −1 −2 x
therefore∫ 2x = ∫ e
−2 x
= e +C

To check : (-2)(- ) e−2 x = e−2 x dx

3. ∫ 2 dx

SOLUTION : here a = 2 and u = x using E2. ∫ a =

4. ∫ ev from fractional into exponential form; therefore from∫

v into ∫ e dv

--∫ e
−v
(dv) = -e−v + C or v +C
e
To check : -1(e )−v + C or e−v
5.∫ (e ¿ −e ) ¿ dt
t −t 2
SOLUTION ; Multiply itself so therefore ∫ ¿ ¿ - 2e t e−t + e−2 t ) dt
1
Simplifying we have : ∫ ¿ ¿ - 2 + e−2 t ) dt, let u = 2t, then du = 2dt nf =

1 1 1 2t 1 −2 t
So we have
2
∫ e dt - 2∫ dt - ∫ e dt = e -2t- e + C
2t

−2 t
2 2
1 2t 1 −2 t 1 2t 1 −2 t
To check: d( e – 2t – e ), = e 2dt – 2dt – e ( -2dt),= e 2 t dt – 2dt + e−2 t dt, =( e 2 t - 2 +

e )dt, = (e −e ¿ ¿ dt
5. ∫ ¿ ¿dx SOLUTION: MULTIPLY ITSELF , THEN THE NEW EQUATION IS
HERE’S HOW TO MULTIPLY ; e x +1 therefore the new equation is

e +1
2x x
e + 2e +1 e x +2+ 1
------------ x = x or

FINAL ANSWER: ∫ e dx + 2∫ dx +∫ e
