$f (x) = x e^{x}$

Step 1

The function $F (x)$ can be found by finding the indefinite integral of the derivative $f (x)$ .

$F (x) = \int f (x) d x$

Step 2

Set up the integral to solve.

$F (x) = \int x e^{x} d x$

Step 3

Integrate by parts using the formula $\int u d v = u v - \int v d u$ , where $u = x$ and $d v = e^{x}$ .

$x e^{x} - \int e^{x} d x$

Step 4

The integral of $e^{x}$ with respect to $x$ is $e^{x}$ .

$x e^{x} - (e^{x} + C)$

Step 5

Simplify.

$x e^{x} - e^{x} + C$

Step 6

The answer is the antiderivative of the function $f (x) = x e^{x}$ .

$F (x) =$ $x e^{x} - e^{x} + C$
