Answer

a) $\frac{3^{x}}{\ln(3)}+C $ b) $-\frac{2^{-x}}{\ln(2)}+C $ c) $\frac{(\frac{5}{3})^{x}}{\ln(\frac{5}{3})}+C $

Work Step by Step

Recall: $\int a^{x}dx=\frac{a^{x}}{\ln(a)}$ Use this formula to obtain the results below: a) $\int3^{x}dx=\frac{3^{x}}{\ln(3)}+C $ b) $\int2^{-x}dx=\int(\frac{1}{2^{x}})dx=\int(\frac{1}{2})^{x}dx $ $=\frac{(\frac{1}{2})^{x}}{\ln(\frac{1}{2})}+C=\frac{\frac{1}{2^{x}}}{\ln(1)-\ln(2)}$ $=\frac{2^{-x}}{0-\ln(2)}+C=-\frac{2^{-x}}{\ln(2)}+C $ c) $\int(\frac{5}{3})^{x}dx=\frac{(\frac{5}{3})^{x}}{\ln(\frac{5}{3})}+C $
