integral of ke^{-2x}

\int k e^{- 2 x} d x

- \frac{1}{2} k e^{- 2 x} + C

Solution steps

\int k e^{- 2 x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= k \cdot \int e^{- 2 x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= k \cdot \int - \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

= k (- \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int e^{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

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

Substitute back

u = - 2 x

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

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{2} k e^{- 2 x}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} k e^{- 2 x} + C
