Choose u and dv: Let's use integration by parts to solve the integral of 3xe−4xdx. Integration by parts is given by the formula ∫udv=uv−∫vdu, where u and dv are parts of the integrand that we choose. We will let u=3x, which means du=3dx, and dv=e−4xdx, which means v=−41e−4x after integrating dv.
Apply integration by parts: Now we apply the integration by parts formula. We have:∫3xe−4xdx=uv−∫vdu= (3x)(−41e−4x)−∫(−41e−4x)(3dx)
Simplify the integral: Simplify the integral: ∫3xe−4xdx=−43xe−4x−∫(−43e−4x)dx
Integrate the remaining term: Now we integrate the remaining term −43e−4x with respect to x:∫(−43e−4x)dx=(−43)∗(−41)∗e−4x=163e−4x
Combine the two parts: Combine the two parts to get the final answer: ∫3xe−4xdx=−43xe−4x+163e−4x+C, where C is the constant of integration.
