I have done this before - but it was a long time ago: can someone please reexplain this to me:

For parts a and b if possible

For this one, you see that $xe^{x}$ is two terms multiplied together right so thus you need to use the product rule to obtain $xe^{x}+e^{x}$ .

If you are integrating then you are going to notice a very important fact
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(xe^{x}\right)=xe^{x}+e^{x}$
$\int_{0}^{2}xe^{x}dx=\int_{0}^{2}\frac{d}{dx}\left(xe^{x}\right)-e^{x}dx$
Which then becomes
$\int_{0}^{2}xe^{x}dx=\int_{0}^{2}\frac{d}{dx}\left(xe^{x}\right)dx-\int_{0}^{2}e^{x}dx$
This is simply
$\left[xe^{x}-e^{x}\right]_{0}^{2}$
I reckon you can handle the rest and for part b use the same idea.
