hi I need to know how to integrate e raised to the negative x. I am confused. :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi

OpenStudy (jessica):

-e^(-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please! I am learning integration by parts and I let my dv= e^-x. and Im having trouble integrating that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just go to fun math.com and ask or try online tutoring but DONT AND I REPEAT DONT USE TUTOR VISTA OR TUTOR NEXT BUT TRY GROWING STARS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOST DOVE ARE YOU THERE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. but I thought someone here might answer my question :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whenever you take the derivative of e^x, it's e^x. If you take the derivative e^kx where k is a constant, the derivative is ke^kx.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOST DOVE USE ONLINE TUTORING BUT PLZ DONT USE TUTOR NEXT OR TUTROR VISTA U CAN USE GROWING STARS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make sure you think of e^-x as e^-1x. Each time you take the derivative, the sign will change. That's why -e^-x will derive to e^-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GREAT IDEA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BUT USE ONLINE TUTORING

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When thinking of the antiderivative/integral of e^kx, the answer will be 1/k*e^kx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LIKE GROWING STARS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll give the funmath thing a try though (thx! :)). wait let me read dwobinkles reply. okay but im watching this video and the guy took the derivative of it, and he got -e^-x. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqaDSlYdRcs which is why I am confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAIT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its on 1:55 in the video.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

USE GROWING STARS ONLINE TUTORING

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

sassy -- again, please stop spamming. lostdove is getting help here at the moment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I WAS TRYING TO HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SORRY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ILL JUST GO

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

I am sure they will keep the advice regarding growing stars in mind if/when it's needed; no need to repeat :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i keep replying to sassy thinking shes being legit. lol I'll ignore it .

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Oh, I'm sure sassy is trying to help. Just trying to let you also interact with dwobwinkle who is giving a good answer to your original question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

google "paul's online math notes". It's a website created by a professor, it's gotten me through calculus. It's free, not a tutoring site like Sassy is saying (lots of money, unexpected results). He has his lecture notes online and explains everything taught from algebra all the way through differential equations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. I was having trouble keeping up with both convos.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SORRY I KEEP ON REPEATING

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay!! cool thanks to all for your help! :) its okay sassy :)

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

No worries sassy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THXS GUYS
