Both factors are present as a product; by LIATE the algebraic factor xx is chosen as uu (there is no logarithmic or inverse factor, and algebraic ranks above exponential). So:

u=x,du=dx;dv=exdx  ⇒  v=∫exdx=ex.u=x,\quad du=dx; \qquad dv=e^{x}dx \;\Rightarrow\; v=\int e^{x}dx=e^{x}.

Apply ∫u dv=uv−∫v du\displaystyle\int u\,dv=uv-\int v\,du: …
