The answer is inte^(3x)dx=e^(3x)/3.

So we have f(x) = e^(3x) = g(h(x)), where g(x) = e^x and h(x) = 3x.

The antiderivative of such a form is given by :

intg(h(x))*h'(x)dx = G(h(x))

We know that the derivative of h(x) = 3x is h'(x)=3.

We also know that the antiderivative of g(x) = e^x is G(x) = e^x.

We have inte^(3x)dx but, with our formula, we can only calculate inte^(3x)*3dx, so what we will do is :

inte^(3x)dx = 1/3inte^(3x)*3dx = e^(3x)/3.

That's it.
