The answer is (1/2)xe^(2x) - (1/4)e^(2x) + C
Solution:
Since our given integrand is the product of the functions x and e^(2x), we can use the formula for integration by parts by choosing
u = xdv/dx = e^(2x)
By differentiating, we get
du/dx= 1
By integrating dv/dx= e^(2x), we have
v =∫e^(2x) dx = (1/2)e^(2x)
Then we substitute these values to the integration by parts formula:
∫ u(dv/dx) dx = uv −∫ v(du/dx) dx ∫ x e^(2x) dx
= (x) (1/2)e^(2x) - ∫ ((1/2) e^(2x)) (1) dx
= (1/2)xe^(2x) - (1/2)∫[e^(2x)] dx
= (1/2)xe^(2x) - (1/2) (1/2)e^(2x) + C
where c is the constant of integration.
Therefore, our simplified answer is now
∫ x e^(2x) dx = (1/2)xe^(2x) - (1/4)e^(2x) + C
