List of integrals of exponential functions

Template:Short description 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

• <math>

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

• <math>\int x^2 e^{cx}\,dx = e^{cx}\left(\frac{x^2}{c}-\frac{2x}{c^2}+\frac{2}{c^3}\right)</math>
• <math>\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 \\

Integrals involving the error function

In the following formulas, Template:Math is the error function and Template:Math is the exponential integral.

Other integrals

• <math>\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,

</math>

where <math> c_{2j}=\frac{ 1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdots (2j-1)}{2^{j+1}}=\frac{(2j)!}{j!2^{2j+1}} \ . </math>

(Note that the value of the expression is independent of the value of Template:Mvar, which is why it does not appear in the integral.)
