integral of (-2)/(e^x)

integral

\frac{- 2}{e ^{x}}

\frac{2}{e ^{x}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{- 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 \frac{1}{e ^{x}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= - 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - 2 (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = e^{x}

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{2}{e ^{x}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{2}{e ^{x}} + C
