`int e^(-x) dx, u = -x` Evaluate the integral by making the given substitution.

You need to use the following substitution `-x = u` , such that:


`-x = u=> -dx = du => dx = -du`


`int e^(-x) dx = -int e^u du = -e^u + c`


Replacing back  `-x` for u yields:


`int e^(-x) dx = -e^(-x) + c`


Hence, evaluating the indefinite integral, yields` int e^(-x) dx = -e^(-x) + c`
