How do you integrate x* (exp(x))??

The easiest method to use in this incidence is integratation by parts.

So let u=x and dv/dx=exp(x). Therefore du/dx=1 and v=exp(x).

Then we use the formula where integral(udu/dx)=uv-integral(v*du/dx).

So integral(xexp(x))=xexp(x)-integral(exp(x)*1)

=x*exp(x)-integral(exp(x))

=x*exp(x)-exp(x)+c

Don't forget the +c

Let f(x) = x * sin(2x). Find the area beneath the graph of y = f(x), bounded by the x-axis, the y-axis and the line x = π/2.


Solve the differential equation dy/dx=(y^(1/2))*sin(x/2) to find y in terms of x.


y=4x/(x^2+5)


(Core 2) Show that the region bounded by the curve y = 7x+ 6 - (1/x^2), the x axis and the lines x = 1 and x = 2 equals 16
