how do you find the integral of xe^x^2 bounderies x=1-2

Let , note that

Now look back at the integral



Now one integral you have to remember is



But comparing this to our integral, we have x but we need 2x, so in order to solve the integral, consider the following:



Now as

then the two integral are exactly the same except we can work on the one we found.





Now we know that:



(because of the integral "formula" i mentioned)

so the problem becomes





which is the answer, you could find an approximation but it isnt neccesary.

I can really see you going insanely well in the HSC... You seem to a very intellectual and bright young child.
