Step 2.1.2.1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $1 + 2 x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{d}{d x} [1] + \frac{d}{d x} [2 x]$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [1] + \frac{d}{d x} [2 x]$

Step 2.1.2.2

Since $1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $1$ with respect to $x$ is $0$ .

$0 + \frac{d}{d x} [2 x]$

Step 2.1.3

Step 2.1.3.1

Since $2$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $2 x$ with respect to $x$ is $2 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$0 + 2 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 2.1.3.2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$0 + 2 \cdot 1$

Step 2.1.3.3

Multiply $2$ by $1$ .

$0 + 2$

Step 2.1.4

Add $0$ and $2$ .

$2$

Step 2.2

Rewrite the problem using $u$ and $d u$ .

$\int 2^{u} \cdot \frac{1}{2} d u$

Step 3

Combine $2^{u}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\int \frac{2^{u}}{2} d u$

Step 4

Since $\frac{1}{2}$ is constant with respect to $u$ , move $\frac{1}{2}$ out of the integral.

$\frac{1}{2} \int 2^{u} d u$

Step 5

The integral of $2^{u}$ with respect to $u$ is $\frac{2^{u}}{\ln (2)}$ .

$\frac{1}{2} (\frac{2^{u}}{\ln (2)} + C)$

Step 6.1

Rewrite $\frac{1}{2} (\frac{2^{u}}{\ln (2)} + C)$ as $\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\ln (2)} \cdot 2^{u} + C$ .

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\ln (2)} \cdot 2^{u} + C$

Step 6.2

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ by $\frac{1}{\ln (2)}$ .

$\frac{1}{2 \ln (2)} \cdot 2^{u} + C$

Step 7

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $1 + 2 x$ .

$\frac{1}{2 \ln (2)} \cdot 2^{1 + 2 x} + C$
