$-e^{-x}$

Do you understand why?

What is the antiderivative of $e^x$? And if now you change the sign in the exponent how does that affect the antiderivative?

4. I do understand, thats what I thought the answer was, but I was using an online antiderivative calculator and it said the asnwer was 1/(e^x logx)

is the antiderivative of sin(pi*x) -cos(pi*x)/pi ?

This what may happen when one gives too much trust onto those stupid electronic devices. It's better to think.

This is a question poorly redacted, but yes: $\int \sin \pi x\,dx=-\frac{\cos \pi x}{\pi}$
