Math Problem Statement

 ⁣exxdx\int_{}^{}\!\frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x}}\,\mathrm{d}x

Solution

The given integral is:

exxdx\int \frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x}} \, dx

To solve this, we can apply the substitution method. Let's set:

u=xso thatx=u2anddx=2uduu = \sqrt{x} \quad \text{so that} \quad x = u^2 \quad \text{and} \quad dx = 2u \, du

Now substitute uu and dxdx into the integral:

exxdx=euu2udu=2eudu\int \frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x}} \, dx = \int \frac{e^u}{u} \cdot 2u \, du = 2 \int e^u \, du

The integral of eue^u is simply eue^u, so we have:

2eudu=2eu+C2 \int e^u \, du = 2e^u + C

Finally, substitute back u=xu = \sqrt{x} to get the solution in terms of xx:

2eu+C=2ex+C2e^u + C = 2e^{\sqrt{x}} + C

Thus, the solution to the integral is:

2ex+C\boxed{2e^{\sqrt{x}} + C}
