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

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

- \frac{1}{2} (e^{- 2 x} - 1)

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{0}^{- 2 x} - \frac{1}{2} e^{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{- 2 x} e^{u} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= - \frac{1}{2} [e^{u}]_{0}^{- 2 x}

Compute the boundaries:

e^{- 2 x} - 1

= - \frac{1}{2} (e^{- 2 x} - 1)
