I have to reverse the derivative and get it back to its original state. sin(3x) is simple enough for it to be +sin(3x) it must be a negative cosine and something for which cancels the 3 out so 1/3 therefore, -1/3cos(3x) would be the original. But the original of e^(x/5) this one baffles me. It's really the (x/5) that I don't get.
