Answer

−ye−x+C-y e^{-x} + C

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

To evaluate the integral ∫ye−x dx\int y e^{-x}\,dx, we treat yy as a constant because the integration is with respect to xx.

  1. Factor out the constant yy.

    ∫ye−x dx=y∫e−x dx\int y e^{-x}\,dx = y \int e^{-x}\,dx
  2. Integrate e−xe^{-x} with respect to xx.

    We can use a substitution for this part. Let u=−xu = -x.
    Then, differentiate uu with respect to xx:

    dudx=−1\frac{du}{dx} = -1

    So, du=−dxdu = -dx, which means dx=−dudx = -du.

    Substitute uu and dxdx into the integral:

    ∫e−x dx=∫eu(−du)=−∫eu du\int e^{-x}\,dx = \int e^u (-du) = -\int e^u\,du

    The integral of eue^u is eue^u.

    −∫eu du=−eu+C1-\int e^u\,du = -e^u + C_1

    Now, substitute back u=−xu = -x:

    −e−x+C1-e^{-x} + C_1
  3. Combine the results.

    Multiply the result from Step 2 by yy:

    y(−e−x+C1)=−ye−x+yC1y(-e^{-x} + C_1) = -y e^{-x} + yC_1

    Since yy is a constant, yC1yC_1 is also an arbitrary constant, which we can denote as CC.

    −ye−x+C-y e^{-x} + C
