5.3 Integration of
Logarithmic and
Exponential Functions
1
We recall that the derivative of ln x is .
                                        x
                               1
So if we go in reverse, then ∫ dx = ln x .
                               x
(Absolute values are necessary.)
CAREFUL!Don' t get this confused with the ones you
you have done like this one :
  1                 x −1      −1
∫ x 2 dx = ∫ x dx = − 1 + C = x + C

Figuring out how to undo the
derivative of exponentials
                                           x    x
You remember that the derivative of e is e .
So if you go in reverse, ∫ e x dx will be e x + C.
If only they were all that simple.


We need to consider what happens when they
                            3x
were a little fancier like e .
The derivative of e would be e ⋅ 3 = 3e .
                    3x            3x           3x


So it appears that in order to go in reverse,
the opposite of multiplying by the " tail, "
maybe we will divide by it. Let' s try it :
              3x
         3e
∫ 3e dx = 3 + C = e + C
    3x             3x
∫e
     7x
          dx




∫ e − x / 4 dx




∫ e.04 x dx
We can use u-substitution
with the exponentials

∫ e du = e + C
  u      u
Using ∫ e du = e + C
                   u        u



∫e

          x dx         It is obvious what u should be!
u=x       3
