integral from 0 to infinity of xe^{-sx}

\int_{0}^{\infty} x e^{- s x} d x

\frac{1}{s ^{2}}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\infty} x e^{- s x} d x

Compute the indefinite integral:

\int x e^{- s x} d x = \frac{1}{s ^{2}} (- s e^{- s x} x - e^{- s x}) + C

Compute the boundaries:

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

= 0 - (- \frac{1}{s ^{2}})

Simplify

= \frac{1}{s ^{2}}
