Answer

$ \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(e-\frac{1}{e^{3}})$

Work Step by Step

The method of example 4, as suggested by the hint, involves substitution. Remember to express the LIMITS of integration accordingly. $\left[\begin{array}{ll} u=2x-1 & du=2dx\\ dx=du/2 & \\ & \\ x=-1\Rightarrow & u=-3\\ x=1\Rightarrow & u=1 \end{array}\right]$ $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}e^{2x-1}dx=\int_{-3}^{1}e^{u}(\frac{du}{2})=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-3}^{1}e^{u}du$ ... Apply the FTC, ... def.integral = [antiderivative$]_{a}^{b}$ $=\left[\dfrac{e^{u}}{2}\right]_{-3}^{1}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{e}{2}-\frac{e^{-3}}{2}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(e-e^{-3})$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(e-\frac{1}{e^{3}})$
