Exercise · ZW-U-SUBSTITUTION-007 · ★☆☆ Basic
Compute \(\displaystyle\int e^{3 x}\,dx\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(\frac{e^{3 x}}{3} + C\)
Explanation
Use the substitution \(u=3x,\ du=3\,dx\). The integral reduces to a basic form and returning to x gives \(\frac{e^{3 x}}{3} + C\). Check: \((\frac{e^{3 x}}{3})'=e^{3 x}\).
Review the concept: Integration by substitution
Technique that simplifies an integral through the change of variable \(u=g(x)\), \(du=g^{\prime}(x)\,dx\).
\[\int f(g(x))\,g'(x)\,dx=\int f(u)\,du\]
