Indefinite Integration

Question:

Find $\int x e^x \, dx$

Options:

$e^x(x + 1) + C$

$x e^x + e^x + C$

$xe^x - e^x + C$

$x^2 e^x - e^x + C$

Correct Answer:

$xe^x - e^x + C$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $xe^x - e^x + C$

Take first function as $x$ and second function as $e^x$. The integral of the second function is $e^x$.

Therefore,

$\int x e^x \, dx = x e^x - \int 1 \cdot e^x \, dx = x e^x - e^x + C.$
