integral from 0 to infinity of e^{-kt}

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- k t} d t

\frac{1}{k}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- k t} d t

Compute the indefinite integral:

\int e^{- k t} d t = - \frac{1}{k} e^{- k t} + C

Compute the boundaries:

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- k t} d t = 0 - (- \frac{1}{k})

= 0 - (- \frac{1}{k})

Simplify

= \frac{1}{k}
