Answer

$ e-\displaystyle \frac{1}{e}$

Work Step by Step

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