Choosing uu and dvdv (via ILATE — Algebraic before Exponential)

Let u=x (⇒du=dx)u=x\ (\Rightarrow du=dx) and dv=ex dx (⇒v=ex)dv=e^x\,dx\ (\Rightarrow v=e^x).

Applying integration by parts

∫xex dx=uv−∫v du=xex−∫ex dx=xex−ex+C=ex(x−1)+C\int xe^x\,dx=uv-\int v\,du=xe^x-\int e^x\,dx=xe^x-e^x+C=e^x(x-1)+C …
