Evaluate the Integral integral of a^x with respect to x

Problem

(∫_^)(a^x*d(x))

Solution

1. Identify the integrand as an exponential function with a constant base a where a>0 and a≠1

2. Rewrite the expression using the natural base e and the identity a^x=e^(x*ln(a))

3. Apply the integration rule for exponential functions of the form e^(k*x) which states (∫_^)(e^(k*x)*d(x))=(e^(k*x))/k+C

4. Substitute k=ln(a) into the formula to obtain (e^(x*ln(a)))/ln(a)+C

5. Simplify the numerator back to a^x and include the constant of integration C

Final Answer

(∫_^)(a^x*d(x))=(a^x)/ln(a)+C
