I think it is full of mistakes. For one thing, it isn't clear whether your original exponential is[tex]e^{-\int {\frac 1 t + 2}\, dt}\hbox{ or } e^{-\int \frac{1}{t+2}\,dt}[/tex] In your first step you have treated it both ways and you are careless with your - signs and simplification. Try again.
 

FAQ: Integration of Exponential Function with Limits from 0 to t

What is the basic definition of integration of exponential?

The integration of exponential is a mathematical operation that involves finding the area under the curve of an exponential function. It is the reverse process of differentiation, and it is used to solve many real-world problems in various fields such as physics, engineering, and economics.

What is the formula for integrating exponential functions?

The formula for integrating exponential functions is ∫ e^x dx = e^x + C, where C is the constant of integration. This formula can be used to find the integral of any exponential function with respect to the variable x.

How do you solve integrals involving exponential functions?

To solve integrals involving exponential functions, you can use integration by parts or substitution. Integration by parts is useful for integrals that involve products of exponential functions and other functions, while substitution is useful for integrals with nested exponential functions.

What are some real-life applications of integration of exponential?

The integration of exponential is used in various real-life applications, such as calculating compound interest in finance, modeling population growth in biology, and predicting radioactive decay in nuclear physics. It is also used in signal processing and data analysis to smooth out noisy data.

Are there any special rules for integrating exponential functions?

Yes, there are some special rules for integrating exponential functions. For example, the integral of e^kx is 1/k * e^kx + C, where k is a constant. Also, the integral of e^x^2 is √π * erf(x) + C, where erf(x) is the error function. These rules can be derived using techniques such as substitution and integration by parts.
