`int 3^xdx` Find the indefinite integral

Indefinite integral are written in the form of` int f(x) dx = F(x) +C`


 where: f(x) as the integrand


           F(x) as the anti-derivative function 


           C  as the arbitrary constant known as constant of integration


For the given problem `int 3^x dx `  has a integrand in a form of exponential function.


 There is basic integration formula for exponential function:


`int a^u du = a^u/(ln(a)) +C` where a is a constant.


By comparison, `a = 3` ,` u = x` , and `du =dx` .


 Applying the formula, we get:


`int 3^x dx = 3^x/(ln(3)) +C`

Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800 is sometimes called the Revolution of 1800. Why could it be described in this way?

Thomas Jefferson’s election in 1800 can be called the “Revolution of 1800” because it was the first time in America’s short history that pow...
