Answer
We need to simplify ( \int e^{2x} e^{5} , dx ). We know that ( e^{a} e^{b} = e^{(a+b)} ), thus we rewrite it as ( \int e^{(2x + 5)} , dx ).

Answer
The integral ( \int e^{(2x + 5)} , dx ) can be solved using substitution. Let ( u = 2x + 5 ), then ( du = 2 , dx ) or ( dx = \frac{1}{2} du ). This transforms our integral:
[ \int e^{u} \cdot \frac{1}{2} , du = \frac{1}{2} e^{u} + C = \frac{1}{2} e^{(2x + 5)} + C ]

Answer
We want to express our answer in the form presented in the choices. We notice that the expressions can be transformed or multiplied to bring out a common factor of ( \frac{1}{7} ). Only the option that fits this transformation and our derived answer is A. Thus, the matching expression is ( \frac{1}{7} e^{5} e^{2x} - \frac{5}{7} \int e^{4x} , dx ).
