$f (x) = e^{8 x}$

Step 1

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 2

Set up the integral to solve.

$F (x) = \int e^{8 x} d x$

Step 3

Let $u = 8 x$ . Then $d u = 8 d x$ , so $\frac{1}{8} d u = d x$ . Rewrite using $u$ and $d$ $u$ .

Step 3.1.1

Differentiate $8 x$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [8 x]$

Step 3.1.2

Since $8$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $8 x$ with respect to $x$ is $8 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$8 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 3.1.3

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

$8 \cdot 1$

Step 3.1.4

Multiply $8$ by $1$ .

$8$

Step 3.2

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

$\int e^{u} \frac{1}{8} d u$

Step 4

Combine $e^{u}$ and $\frac{1}{8}$ .

$\int \frac{e^{u}}{8} d u$

Step 5

Since $\frac{1}{8}$ is constant with respect to $u$ , move $\frac{1}{8}$ out of the integral.

$\frac{1}{8} \int e^{u} d u$

Step 6

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

$\frac{1}{8} (e^{u} + C)$

Step 7

Simplify.

$\frac{1}{8} e^{u} + C$

Step 8

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $8 x$ .

$\frac{1}{8} e^{8 x} + C$

Step 9

The answer is the antiderivative of the function $f (x) = e^{8 x}$ .

$F (x) =$ $\frac{1}{8} e^{8 x} + C$
