To evaluate this integral, we first need to simplify the exponential expression inside it, by dividing each term in the numerator by the denominator .
The first term would become because the exponent
cancels.
The second term would become (Here, the rule of exponent is applied: to divide the powers of the same base, subtract exponents. This could be further rewritten as
, again, by applying the same rule of exponents. Remember that e is just a constant, which could be taken out of the integral.
So the expression under the integral, once simplified, becomes
, which is a difference of a power function and an exponential function. The integral of a difference is a difference of integrals, so
These integrals can now be evaluated:
(up to a constant) and
(up to a constant.)
The final result is therefore , where C is a constant.
The integral in question equals .
