By definition, if the function F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x) then we follow
the indefinite integral as
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 problem we may apply u-substitution then basic formula for exponential function.
Using u-substitution, we let then
.
By dividing both sides by -1 in , we get
.
Applying u-substitution using and dx=-1 du in
, we get:
Applying the basic integration formula for exponential function:
where a is a constant.
Then
To express it in terms of x, we plug-in u=-x to get:
Recall . It can be also be written as:
Recall the logarithm property: then
It becomes
The final answer can be or
.
