integral from 0 to ln(2) of e^{-2y}

\int_{0}^{l n (2)} e^{- 2 y} d y

\frac{3}{8}

Decimal

0.375

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{l n (2)} e^{- 2 y} d y

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{0}^{- 2 l n (2)} - \frac{1}{2} e^{u} d u

\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = - \int_{b}^{a} f (x) d x, a < b

= - \int_{- 2 l n (2)}^{0} - \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_{- 2 l n (2)}^{0} e^{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

= - (- \frac{1}{2} [e^{u}]_{- 2 l n (2)}^{0})

Simplify

= \frac{1}{2} [e^{u}]_{- 2 l n (2)}^{0}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{3}{4}

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{4}

Simplify

= \frac{3}{8}
