Introduction to the integral of e^x

In calculus, the integral is a fundamental concept that assigns numbers to functions to define displacement, area, volume, and all those functions that contain a combination of tiny elements. It is categorized into two parts, definite integral and indefinite integral. The process of integration calculates the integrals. This process is defined as finding an antiderivative of a function. 

Integrals can handle almost all functions, such as trigonometric, algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, etc. This article will teach you what is integral to an exponential function e^x. You will also understand how to compute e^x integral by using different integration techniques.

What is the integration of e^x?

The integration of e^x is an antiderivative of the e^x function which is equal to e^x which is denoted by ∫(e^x)dx=e^x.

The function e^x is an exponential function and the integral of e is also known as its reverse derivative with respect to the variable involved. In simple words, we can say that finding the integral e^x is a process of reversing the derivative of e^x.

Integral of e^x formula

The formula of the integral of ex contains the integral sign, coefficient of integration, and the function as sine. It is denoted by ∫(e^x)dx. In mathematical form, the e^x integral is:

 ∫(e^x)dx = e^x +c

 Where c is any constant involved, dx is the coefficient of integration and ∫ is the symbol of the integral. If we replace x by u in the above formula, then it will be the integration of e^u.

How to calculate the integral of ex?

The integral of e^x is its antiderivative that can be calculated by using different integration techniques. In this article, we will discuss how to find the integration of e x proof by using:

  1. Integration by parts
  2. Definite integral

Integral of e by using derivatives

The derivative of a function calculates the rate of change, and integration is the process of finding the antiderivative of a function. Therefore, we can use the derivative to calculate the integral of a function. Let’s discuss calculating the integral of e^x by using derivatives.

Proof of integral of e^(x) by using derivatives

Since we know that the integration is the reverse of the derivative. Therefore, we can calculate the integration of e^x by using its derivative. For this, we have to look for some derivatives formulas or a formula that gives e^x as the derivative of any function. 

In derivative, we know that,

$\frac{d}{dx}(e^x) = e^x{2}lt;/p>

It means that the derivative of e^x gives us cosh x. Therefore, applying the integral on the both sides,

$\int\frac{d}{dx}(e^x)dx=\int e^xdx{2}lt;/p>

The integral sign at the left side will cancel out with the derivative of e^x and the resulting expression will be,

$\int e^xdx=e^x+c{2}lt;/p>

Where c is a constant, known as the integration constant.

Integral of e^x by using integration by parts

The derivative of a function calculates the rate of change, and integration is the process of finding the antiderivative of a function. The integration by parts is a method of solving the integral of two functions combined together. Let’s discuss calculating the e^(x) integral by using integration by parts.

Proof of integration of e^x by using integration by parts

Since we know that the function e^x can be written as the product of two functions. Therefore, we can integrate it by using integration by parts. For this, suppose that:

$u = e^x{2}lt;/p>

Taking the derivatives, we get:

$\frac{du}{dx} = e^x{2}lt;/p>

Plugging these values into the integration by parts formula, we get:

$∫xe^x dx =1∫e^x dx - ∫[d/dx(x)∫e^x dx]dx{2}lt;/p>

Simplifying, 

$∫e^x dx =e^x - ∫(1)e^xdx{2}lt;/p>

$∫xe^x dx =xe^x - ∫e^xdx{2}lt;/p>

$∫xe^x dx =xe^x - e^x + C{2}lt;/p>

where C is the constant of integration. Also, learn to calculate the integral e^x by using the u-substitution method calculator

Integral of ex by using definite integral 

The definite integral is a type of integration that calculates the area of a curve by using infinitesimal area elements between two points. The definite integral can be written as:

$∫^b_a f(x) dx = F(b) – F(a){2}lt;/p>

In the above formula, the limit points a and b are known as the upper and lower bounds. It an integral is not bounded between an upper and lower bound, you can use an indefinite integration calculator to evaluate such integrals.

Let’s understand the verification of the integration of e^x by using the definite integral.

Proof of integral of e^x by using definite integral

To compute the integration of e^x by using a definite integral, we can use the interval from 0 to 1. Let’s compute the integral of e^(x) from 0 to 1. For this, we can write the integral as:

$∫^1_0 e^x dx = e^x|^1_0{2}nbsp;

Now, substitute the limit in the given function.

$∫^1_0 e^x dx = e^1 – e^0{2}nbsp;

Since e^0 is equal to 1 and e^1 is equal to 2.718, therefore, 

$∫^1_0 e^x dx = 2.718 - 1=1.718{2}lt;/p>

To evaluate integrals with some limits, use our definite integration calculator.

FAQ’s

What is integration of e 2x?

The integration of e to the 2x is the same as the integration of e^2x. It is equal to the fraction of e^2x and the constant in its power i.e 2. Mathematically, it can be expressed as;

$\int e^{2x}dx=\frac{e^{2x}}{2}+c{2}nbsp;

What power of e is 1?

If we use 0 as the power of e such as e^0, it will be equal to 1. It is because, the power zero of any value is always equal to 1.
