integral of-2e^{-x}

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

2 e^{- x} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= - 2 \cdot \int e^{- x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= - 2 \cdot \int - e^{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - 2 (- \int e^{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

= - 2 (- e^{u})

Substitute back

u = - x

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

Simplify

= 2 e^{- x}

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 e^{- x} + C
