$e^{3 x} d x$

Step 1

Write $e^{3 x} d x$ as a function.

$f (x) = e^{3 x} d x$

Step 2

The function $F (x)$ can be found by finding the indefinite integral of the derivative $f (x)$ .

$F (x) = \int f (x) d x$

Step 3

Set up the integral to solve.

$F (x) = \int e^{3 x} d x d x$

Step 4

Since $d$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $d$ out of the integral.

$d \int e^{3 x} x d x$

Step 5

Integrate by parts using the formula $\int u d v = u v - \int v d u$ , where $u = x$ and $d v = e^{3 x}$ .

$d (x (\frac{1}{3} e^{3 x}) - \int \frac{1}{3} e^{3 x} d x)$

Step 6.1

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $e^{3 x}$ .

$d (x \frac{e^{3 x}}{3} - \int \frac{1}{3} e^{3 x} d x)$

Step 6.2

Combine $x$ and $\frac{e^{3 x}}{3}$ .

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \int \frac{1}{3} e^{3 x} d x)$

Step 6.3

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $e^{3 x}$ .

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \int \frac{e^{3 x}}{3} d x)$

Step 7

Since $\frac{1}{3}$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $\frac{1}{3}$ out of the integral.

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - (\frac{1}{3} \int e^{3 x} d x))$

Step 8

Let $u = 3 x$ . Then $d u = 3 d x$ , so $\frac{1}{3} d u = d x$ . Rewrite using $u$ and $d$ $u$ .

Step 8.1.1

Differentiate $3 x$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [3 x]$

Step 8.1.2

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $3 x$ with respect to $x$ is $3 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$3 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 8.1.3

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

$3 \cdot 1$

Step 8.1.4

Multiply $3$ by $1$ .

$3$

Step 8.2

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

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \frac{1}{3} \int e^{u} \frac{1}{3} d u)$

Step 9

Combine $e^{u}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ .

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \frac{1}{3} \int \frac{e^{u}}{3} d u)$

Step 10

Since $\frac{1}{3}$ is constant with respect to $u$ , move $\frac{1}{3}$ out of the integral.

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \frac{1}{3} (\frac{1}{3} \int e^{u} d u))$

Step 11.1

Multiply $\frac{1}{3}$ by $\frac{1}{3}$ .

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \frac{1}{3 \cdot 3} \int e^{u} d u)$

Step 11.2

Multiply $3$ by $3$ .

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \frac{1}{9} \int e^{u} d u)$

Step 12

The integral of $e^{u}$ with respect to $u$ is $e^{u}$ .

$d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \frac{1}{9} (e^{u} + C))$

Step 13

Rewrite $d (\frac{x e^{3 x}}{3} - \frac{1}{9} (e^{u} + C))$ as $d (\frac{1}{3} x e^{3 x} - \frac{1}{9} e^{u}) + C$ .

$d (\frac{1}{3} x e^{3 x} - \frac{1}{9} e^{u}) + C$

Step 14

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $3 x$ .

$d (\frac{1}{3} x e^{3 x} - \frac{1}{9} e^{3 x}) + C$

Step 15

The answer is the antiderivative of the function $f (x) = e^{3 x} d x$ .

$F (x) =$ $d (\frac{1}{3} x e^{3 x} - \frac{1}{9} e^{3 x}) + C$
