# Integration of 2^x | 2^x Integration

The integration of 2x is equal to 2x/ln2 where ln denotes the natural logarithm, that is, ln=loge. In this post, we will learn to integrate 2 to the power x with respect to x.

## Integration of 2x Formula

The integration formula of 2x (2 to the x) with respect to x is given below.

∫ 2x dx = 2x/ln2 +C.

## How to Integrate 2x

Now, we will learn how to integrate the function 2 to the x and prove that ∫ 2x dx = 2x/ln2 +C.

Proof:

Note that x can be written as x=elnx, so we have

2=eln2 …(I)

Then, using this identity, the integration of 2^x will be equal to

∫2x dx = ∫(eln2)x dx

⇒ ∫2x dx = ∫exln2 dx …(II)

Let xln2 =z. Then ln2 dx =dz

⇒ dx = dz/ln2

Now, from from (II) we get that

∫2x dx = ∫ez $\dfrac{dz}{\ln 2}$

= $\dfrac{1}{\ln 2}$ ∫ez dz

= ez/ln2 as the integration of ez with respect to z is ez.

= exln2/ln2 as z=xln2.

= 2x/ln2 using the identity (I) as exln2 = (eln2)x =(2)x = 2x.

So the integration of 2^x is equal to 2x/ln2 where ln2=loge2. This is obtained by the substitution method of integration and using the exponential identity x=elnx.
