Integrate $$\int xe^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x}$$.

We use integration by parts. Set $u = x$ and $dv/dx = e^x$. This leads to $du/dx = 1$, and $v = e^x$. Then:\begin{align*}\int xe^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x} &= xe^x - \int e^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x}\&= xe^x - e^x.\end{align*}

How do I differentiate something in the form f(x)/g(x)?


(a) Express x +4x+7 in the form (x+ p) +q , where p and q are integers.


I'm trying to integrate f(x)=sin(x) between 0 and 2 pi to find the area between the graph and the axis but I keep getting 0, why?


I'm confused about differentiation and integration, could you explain these to me?
