none

The following is a list of integrals of exponential functions. For a complete list of integral functions, please see the list of integrals.

Indefinite integral

Indefinite integrals are antiderivative functions. A constant (the constant of integration) may be added to the right hand side of any of these formulas, but has been suppressed here in the interest of brevity.

Integrals of polynomials

\int xe^{cx},dx = e^{cx}\left(\frac{cx-1}{c^{2}}\right) \qquad \text{ for } c \neq 0;

  • \int x^2 e^{cx},dx = e^{cx}\left(\frac{x^2}{c}-\frac{2x}{c^2}+\frac{2}{c^3}\right)
  • \begin{align} \int x^n e^{cx},dx &= \frac{1}{c} x^n e^{cx} - \frac{n}{c}\int x^{n-1} e^{cx} ,dx \ &= \left( \frac{\partial}{\partial c} \right)^n \frac{e^{cx}}{c} \ &= e^{cx}\sum_{i=0}^n (-1)^i\frac{n!}{(n-i)!c^{i+1}}x^{n-i} \ &= e^{cx}\sum_{i=0}^n (-1)^{n-i}\frac{n!}{i!c^{n-i+1}}x^i \end{align}
  • \int\frac{e^{cx}}{x},dx = \ln|x| +\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(cx)^n}{n\cdot n!}
  • \int\frac{e^{cx}}{x^n},dx = \frac{1}{n-1}\left(-\frac{e^{cx}}{x^{n-1}}+c\int\frac{e^{cx} }{x^{n-1}},dx\right) \qquad\text{(for }n\neq 1\text{)}

Integrals involving only exponential functions

  • \int f'(x)e^{f(x)},dx = e^{f(x)}
  • \int e^{cx},dx = \frac{1}{c} e^{cx}
  • \int a^{x},dx = \frac{a^x}{\ln a}\qquad\text{ for }a 0,\ a \ne 1

Integrals involving the error function

In the following formulas, erf is the error function and Ei is the exponential integral.

  • \int e^{cx}\ln x,dx = \frac{1}{c}\left(e^{cx}\ln|x|-\operatorname{Ei}(cx)\right)
  • \int x e^{c x^2 },dx= \frac{1}{2c} e^{c x^2}
  • \int e^{-c x^2 },dx= \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{4c}} \operatorname{erf}(\sqrt{c} x)
  • \int xe^{-c x^2 },dx=-\frac{1}{2c}e^{-cx^2}
  • \int\frac{e^{-x^2}}{x^2},dx = -\frac{e^{-x^2}}{x} - \sqrt{\pi} \operatorname{erf} (x)
  • \int {\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{ -\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)^2 }},dx= \frac{1}{2}\operatorname{erf}\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma \sqrt{2}}\right)

Other integrals

  • \int e^{x^2},dx = e^{x^2}\left( \sum_{j=0}^{n-1}c_{2j}\frac{1}{x^{2j+1}} \right )+(2n-1)c_{2n-2} \int \frac{e^{x^2}}{x^{2n}},dx \quad \text{valid for any } n 0, where c_{2j}=\frac{ 1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdots (2j-1)}{2^{j+1}}=\frac{(2j)!}{j!2^{2j+1}} \ . (Note that the value of the expression is independent of the value of n, which is why it does not appear in the integral.)

  • {\int \underbrace{x^{x^{\cdot^{\cdot^{x}}}}}mdx= \sum{n=0}^m\frac{(-1)^n(n+1)^{n-1}}{n!}\Gamma(n+1,- \ln x) + \sum_{n=m+1}^\infty(-1)^na_{mn}\Gamma(n+1,-\ln x) \qquad\text{(for }x 0\text{)}} where a_{mn}=\begin{cases}1 &\text{if } n = 0, \ \ \dfrac{1}{n!} &\text{if } m=1, \ \ \dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{j=1}^{n}ja_{m,n-j}a_{m-1,j-1} &\text{otherwise} \end{cases} and Γ(x,y) is the upper incomplete gamma function.

  • \int \frac{1}{ae^{\lambda x} + b} ,dx = \frac{x}{b} - \frac{1}{b \lambda} \ln\left(a e^{\lambda x} + b \right) when b \neq 0, \lambda \neq 0, and ae^{\lambda x} + b 0.
