Compute \(\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} e^{x}\,dx\).

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(-1 + e\)

Explanation

An antiderivative is \(F(x)=e^{x}\). By the fundamental theorem, the integral is \(F(1)-F(0)=-1 + e\).

Review the concept: Fundamental theorem of calculus

It links derivatives and integrals: a definite integral equals an antiderivative evaluated at the endpoints, and differentiating an integral with variable upper limit returns the integrand.

\[\begin{gathered}\int_a^b f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\\ \frac{d}{dx}\int_a^x f(t)\,dt=f(x)\end{gathered}\]
