integral of e^{(-x)/5}

\int e^{\frac{- x}{5}} d x

- 5 e^{- \frac{x}{5}} + C

Solution steps

\int e^{\frac{- x}{5}} d x

Simplify

= \int e^{- \frac{x}{5}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - 5 e^{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - 5 \cdot \int e^{u} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= - 5 e^{u}

Substitute back

u = - \frac{x}{5}

= - 5 e^{- \frac{x}{5}}

Add a constant to the solution

= - 5 e^{- \frac{x}{5}} + C
