Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral \( \int x e^{5x^2} \, dx \).

Solution

The given integral is:

xe5x2dx\int x e^{5x^2} \, dx

Solution:

To solve this, we use substitution.

  1. Let u=5x2u = 5x^2. Then, du=10xdxdu = 10x \, dx, which implies xdx=110dux \, dx = \frac{1}{10} \, du.

  2. Substitute into the integral:

xe5x2dx=eu110du=110eudu\int x e^{5x^2} \, dx = \int e^u \cdot \frac{1}{10} \, du = \frac{1}{10} \int e^u \, du

  1. The integral of eue^u is eue^u. So:

110eudu=110eu+C\frac{1}{10} \int e^u \, du = \frac{1}{10} e^u + C

  1. Substitute back u=5x2u = 5x^2:

110eu+C=110e5x2+C\frac{1}{10} e^u + C = \frac{1}{10} e^{5x^2} + C

Final Answer:

xe5x2dx=110e5x2+C\int x e^{5x^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{10} e^{5x^2} + C
