\(\int \mathrm e^x\,\mathrm dx=\mathrm e^x+C\qquad\int \mathrm e^{ax+b}\,\mathrm dx=\dfrac{\mathrm e^{ax+b}}a+C\quad(a\ne0)\)
Divide by the coefficient of \(x\) in the exponent. If \(a = 0\), the integrand is constant. Check by differentiating.
Example
Integrate \(\mathrm e^{2x-1}\) with respect to \(x\).
\(\int\mathrm{e}^{2x-1}\,\mathrm{d}x\)\({}=\dfrac{\mathrm{e}^{2x-1}}{2}+C\)
Integrate \(\mathrm e^{3-x}\) with respect to \(x\).
\(\int\mathrm{e}^{3-x}\,\mathrm{d}x\)\({}=\dfrac{\mathrm{e}^{3-x}}{-1}+C\)\({}=-\mathrm{e}^{3-x}+C\)
