Recommended for Class 12
Full school-level explanation
Integral e^x dx=e^x+C and integral a^x dx=a^x/ln(a)+C for valid a.
CONCEPT AND RULE
Integral e^x dx=e^x+C and integral a^x dx=a^x/ln(a)+C for valid a.
METHOD
For basic exponential integrals, identify the given information and required result. Select the matching definition or formula, state its conditions, substitute carefully, simplify one line at a time, and check.
WORKED EXAMPLE
Integral 2x dx=2x/ln2+C.
COMMON MISTAKE
Write the governing rule before substitution, keep brackets and signs visible, and check that the answer satisfies all domain or interval conditions.
How to solve basic exponential integrals
How it works
- Identify the mathematical objects, givens, restrictions, and required result.
- Choose and write the relevant definition, theorem, or formula.
- Substitute with brackets and carry out one justified step per line.
- Simplify, state the final answer clearly, and verify it in the original setting.
