Integrating Exponential Functions with Base “e”

$\int e^{\color{#004ec4}{a}x+b} dx=\frac{1}{\color{#004ec4}{a}} e^{\color{#004ec4}{a}x+b} +c$

Substitute the components into the formula

$\int e^{\color{#004ec4}{a}x+b} dx$	$=$	$\frac{1}{\color{#004ec4}{a}} e^{\color{#004ec4}{a}x+b} +c$

$\int_{-1}^{3} e^{\color{#004ec4}{-\frac{x}{2}}} dx$	$=$	$\int_{-1}^{3} \frac{e^{\color{#004ec4}{-\frac{x}{2}}}}{-\frac{1}{2}}$	Substitute known values

	$=$	$[-2e^(-x/2)]_(-1)^3$	Simplify

Finally, get the difference of the upper and lower limits substituted to the integral as

$x$ .

	$[-2e^(-x/2)]_(-1)^3$

$=$	$[-2e^(-3/2)]-[-2e^(- (-1)/2)]$	Substitute the limits

$=$	$-2e^(-3/2)+2e^(1/2)$	Evaluate

$=$	$-2/e^(3/2) +2e^(1/2)$	Reciprocate $e^(-3/2)$

$=$	$-2/(sqrt(e^3)) +2sqrte$	Change the exponents into surds

$-2/(sqrt(e^3)) +2sqrte$

Finally, get the difference of the upper and lower limits substituted to the integral as

$x$ .

	$[(5e^(2x-1))/2]_1^2$

$=$	$[(5e^(2(2)-1))/2]-[(5e^(2(1)-1))/2]$	Substitute the limits

$=$	$(5e^3)/2-(5e)/2$	Evaluate

$=$	$5/2 e[e^2-1]$	Factorise

$5/2 e[e^2-1]$
