integral from 0 to infinity of e^{-x/2}

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- \frac{x}{2}} d x

2

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- \frac{x}{2}} d x

Compute the indefinite integral:

\int e^{- \frac{x}{2}} d x = - 2 e^{- \frac{x}{2}} + C

Compute the boundaries:

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- \frac{x}{2}} d x = 0 - (- 2)

= 0 - (- 2)

Simplify

= 2
