integral of 4e^{-4x}

\int 4 e^{- 4 x} d x

- e^{- 4 x} + C

Solution steps

\int 4 e^{- 4 x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int e^{- 4 x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= 4 \cdot \int - \frac{1}{4} e^{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 (- \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int e^{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

= 4 (- \frac{1}{4} e^{u})

Substitute back

u = - 4 x

= 4 (- \frac{1}{4} e^{- 4 x})

Simplify

4 (- \frac{1}{4} e^{- 4 x}) : - e^{- 4 x}

= - e^{- 4 x}

Add a constant to the solution

= - e^{- 4 x} + C
