Worked solution

3(i)

1. Apply the chain rule to differentiate the exponential function

ddx(ex2+2x)=(2x+2)ex2+2x\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}(\text{e}^{x^2+2x}) = (2x+2)\text{e}^{x^2+2x}
=2(x+1)ex2+2x= 2(x+1)\text{e}^{x^2+2x}

Answer

(2x+2)ex2+2x(2x+2)\text{e}^{x^2+2x} or 2(x+1)ex2+2x2(x+1)\text{e}^{x^2+2x}

3(ii)

1. Use the result from part (i) to find the integral of the basic exponential component.

From (i), ddx(ex2+2x)=(2x+2)ex2+2x=2(x+1)ex2+2x\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x} (\text{e}^{x^2+2x}) = (2x+2)\text{e}^{x^2+2x} = 2(x+1)\text{e}^{x^2+2x}

Therefore, integrating both sides gives:
∫(x+1)ex2+2x dx=12ex2+2x+C\int (x+1)\text{e}^{x^2+2x} \text{ d}x = \frac{1}{2}\text{e}^{x^2+2x} + C

2. Set up integration by parts by appropriately splitting the integrand.

We rewrite the integral to make use of our result from step 1:
∫(x+1)3ex2+2x dx=∫(x+1)2⋅(x+1)ex2+2x dx\int (x+1)^3 \text{e}^{x^2+2x} \text{ d}x = \int (x+1)^2 \cdot (x+1)\text{e}^{x^2+2x} \text{ d}x

Let u=(x+1)2u = (x+1)^2 and dvdx=(x+1)ex2+2x\frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} = (x+1)\text{e}^{x^2+2x}
Then dudx=2(x+1)\frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x} = 2(x+1) and v=12ex2+2xv = \frac{1}{2}\text{e}^{x^2+2x}

3. Apply the integration by parts formula and simplify the resulting expression.

Using the formula ∫u dv=uv−∫v du\int u \text{ d}v = uv - \int v \text{ d}u:
∫(x+1)3ex2+2x dx=(x+1)2(12ex2+2x)−∫(12ex2+2x)⋅2(x+1) dx\int (x+1)^3 \text{e}^{x^2+2x} \text{ d}x = (x+1)^2 \left( \frac{1}{2}\text{e}^{x^2+2x} \right) - \int \left( \frac{1}{2}\text{e}^{x^2+2x} \right) \cdot 2(x+1) \text{ d}x
=12(x+1)2ex2+2x−∫(x+1)ex2+2x dx= \frac{1}{2}(x+1)^2 \text{e}^{x^2+2x} - \int (x+1)\text{e}^{x^2+2x} \text{ d}x

4. Evaluate the remaining integral and simplify to obtain the final answer.

Since ∫(x+1)ex2+2x dx=12ex2+2x\int (x+1)\text{e}^{x^2+2x} \text{ d}x = \frac{1}{2}\text{e}^{x^2+2x} from our earlier result:
=12(x+1)2ex2+2x−12ex2+2x+C= \frac{1}{2}(x+1)^2 \text{e}^{x^2+2x} - \frac{1}{2}\text{e}^{x^2+2x} + C
=12ex2+2x((x+1)2−1)+C= \frac{1}{2}\text{e}^{x^2+2x} \left( (x+1)^2 - 1 \right) + C
=12ex2+2x(x2+2x+1−1)+C= \frac{1}{2}\text{e}^{x^2+2x} (x^2+2x+1-1) + C
=12(x2+2x)ex2+2x+C= \frac{1}{2}(x^2+2x)\text{e}^{x^2+2x} + C

Answer

12(x2+2x)ex2+2x+C\frac{1}{2}(x^2+2x)\text{e}^{x^2+2x} + C
