integral from 1 to infinity of x/(e^x)

\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{x}{e ^{x}} d x

\frac{2}{e}

Decimal

0.73575 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{x}{e ^{x}} d x

Compute the indefinite integral:

\int \frac{x}{e ^{x}} d x = - \frac{x}{e ^{x}} - \frac{1}{e ^{x}} + C

Compute the boundaries:

\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{x}{e ^{x}} d x = 0 - (- \frac{2}{e})

= 0 - (- \frac{2}{e})

Simplify

= \frac{2}{e}
