Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral \( \int 4e^{8x} \, dx \).

Solution

The problem asks to evaluate the integral:

4e8xdx\int 4e^{8x} \, dx

To solve this, we can follow these steps:

  1. Recognize the integral form: The integral of an exponential function, eaxdx\int e^{ax} \, dx, is 1aeax+C\frac{1}{a}e^{ax} + C.

  2. Apply substitution: For 4e8x4e^{8x}, we identify a=8a = 8.

  3. Integrate:

    4e8xdx=418e8x+C=12e8x+C\int 4e^{8x} \, dx = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{8} e^{8x} + C = \frac{1}{2} e^{8x} + C

Thus, the correct answer is:

12e8x+C\frac{1}{2} e^{8x} + C

This matches option (C).
