Answer

$1$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $\lim\limits_{a \to {-\infty}}\int_a^{0} e^{x} dx=\lim\limits_{a \to {-\infty}} [e^x]_a^0$ This implies that $\lim\limits_{a \to {-\infty}} [e^x]_a^0=\lim\limits_{a \to {-\infty}} [e^0-e^a]$ Thus, we have, $\lim\limits_{a \to {-\infty}} [e^0-e^a]=e^0-0$ or, $1-0=1$
