Math Problem Statement

evalutate dfinite integral from 0 to 1 of e^(x+1) / e^x

Solution

We need to evaluate the definite integral:

01ex+1exdx\int_0^1 \frac{e^{x+1}}{e^x} \, dx

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Simplify the integrand: ex+1ex=exe1ex=e1=e\frac{e^{x+1}}{e^x} = \frac{e^x \cdot e^1}{e^x} = e^1 = e

    So the integral simplifies to: 01edx\int_0^1 e \, dx

  2. Now, we can factor out the constant ee: e011dxe \int_0^1 1 \, dx

  3. The integral of 11 over the interval [0,1][0, 1] is simply the length of the interval, which is 10=11 - 0 = 1: e1=ee \cdot 1 = e

Thus, the value of the definite integral is:

ee
