$\int_{0}^{1} (x^{2} + 3) e^{- x} d x$

Step 1

Integrate by parts using the formula $\int u d v = u v - \int v d u$ , where $u = x^{2} + 3$ and $d v = e^{- x}$ .

$(x^{2} + 3) (- e^{- x})]_{0}^{1} - \int_{0}^{1} - e^{- x} (2 x) d x$

Step 2

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$(x^{2} + 3) (- e^{- x})]_{0}^{1} - \int_{0}^{1} - 2 e^{- x} x d x$

Step 3

Since $- 2$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $- 2$ out of the integral.

$(x^{2} + 3) (- e^{- x})]_{0}^{1} - (- 2 \int_{0}^{1} e^{- x} x d x)$

Step 4

Multiply $- 2$ by $- 1$ .

$(x^{2} + 3) (- e^{- x})]_{0}^{1} + 2 \int_{0}^{1} e^{- x} x d x$

Step 5

Step 6

Since $- 1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $- 1$ out of the integral.
