Integral of $e^{8 x}$

Q: What is the integral of exp(8x)?

The integral of e^8 x is e^8 x8 + C.

The integral of $e^{8 x}$ is $\frac{e^{8 x}}{8} + C$ .

\int e^{8 x}\,dx = \frac{e^{8 x}}{8} + C

Graph of f(x) = exp(8x) with the area from 0 to 1 shaded. The shaded area equals the definite integral, about 372.49475.

How to work it out

1
We want an antiderivative of f(x) = exp(8x).
$\int e^{8 x}\,dx$
2
Method: ∫ $e^{kx}$ dx = $e^{kx}$ /k.
3
That gives the antiderivative; add the constant C because any constant disappears when you differentiate:
$\int e^{8 x}\,dx = \frac{e^{8 x}}{8} + C$
4
Check by differentiating the answer; you must get the original function back:
$\frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{e^{8 x}}{8}\right] = \frac{64 e^{8 x}}{64}$
5
As a definite integral, evaluate the antiderivative at both ends and subtract. Between 0 and 1:
$\int_{0}^{1} e^{8 x}\,dx = \Big[\frac{e^{8 x}}{8}\Big]_{0}^{1} \approx 372.49475$

\[ \int e^{8 x}\,dx = \frac{e^{8 x}}{8} + C \]
\[ \int e^{8 x}\,dx \]
\[ \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{e^{8 x}}{8}\right] = \frac{64 e^{8 x}}{64} \]
\[ \int_{0}^{1} e^{8 x}\,dx = \Big[\frac{e^{8 x}}{8}\Big]_{0}^{1} \approx 372.49475 \]

Questions

What is the integral of exp(8x)?

The integral of $e^{8 x}$ is $\frac{e^{8 x}}{8} + C$ .

Why do we add + C?

Every function F(x) + C has the same derivative, so the antiderivative is only defined up to a constant.
