To integrate e^(-2x)dx, you need to take a u substitution.

u=-2x

du=-2dx

Since the original integral does not have a -2 in it, you need to divide to get the dx alone.

-(1/2)du=dx

Since the integral of e^x is still e^x, you get:

y = -(1/2)e^(-2x)

Well, that was one method. I usually solve easier functions like this by thinking how the function looked like before it was differentiated. I let f(x) stand for the given function and F(x) stand for the primitive function; the function we had before differentiation (the integrated function).

f(x)= e-2x <-- our given function

F(x)= e-2x/-2 <-- our integrated function

Evidence: F'(x)= -2e-2x/-2 = e-2x = f(x) Q.E.D

It's as simple as that.

How do you intergrate ex2?

To integrate ( e^{2x} ), you use the basic rule for integrating exponential functions. The integral is given by: [ \int e^{2x} , dx = \frac{1}{2} e^{2x} + C ] where ( C ) is the constant of integration. This result comes from the fact that the derivative of ( e^{2x} ) is ( 2e^{2x} ), so you divide by the coefficient of ( x ) in the exponent during integration.


How do you integrate functions?

To integrate a function you find what the function you have is the derivative of. for example the derivative of x^2 is 2x. so the integral of 2x is x^2.


How to integrate of e to the power of -2x with x to the power of 2?

e-2x^2 cannot be integrated, only approximated unless there is an additional x attached to the front of the e, otherwise this function is not integrable Actually, it can be integrated, but it requires multivariable calculus and a conversion from cartesian to polar form to do so.

What is the integral of 2-2x with limits 0 to t?

Integrate(0-&gt;t) (2-2x) dx is the integral correct (Integrate(0-&gt;t) (2-2x) dy would be different, you must state integrate with respect to what otherwise it can be anything) So integrals preserves sum and product with constants. i.e. Integrate (2-2x) dx = Integrate 2 dx - 2integrate x dx = 2x - x^2 + C By Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, take any anti-derivative, say C = 0 would be fine, and Integral(0-&gt;t)(2-2x) dx = (2x-x^2)|(0-&gt;t) = (2t-t^2) - 0 = 2t-t^2 It is a special case of the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus -- integral(0-&gt;t) f(x) dx is an anti-derivative of f(x).
