Answer

$$\frac{1}{3}$$

Work Step by Step

\begin{aligned} \int_{-\infty}^{0} e^{3 x} d x &=\lim _{R \rightarrow-\infty} \int_{R}^{0} e^{3 x} d x \\ &=\lim _{R \rightarrow-\infty} \left.\frac{e^{3 x}}{3}\right|_{R} ^{0} \\ &=\lim _{R \rightarrow-\infty} \frac{1}{3}-\frac{e^{3 R}}{3}\\ &=\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned} Converges.
