integral from 0 to 1 of xe^{-x}

\int_{0}^{1} x e^{- x} d x

- \frac{2}{e} + 1

Decimal

0.26424 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} x e^{- x} d x

Apply Integration By Parts

= [- e^{- x} x - \int - e^{- x} d x]_{0}^{1}

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

= [- e^{- x} x - e^{- x}]_{0}^{1}

Compute the boundaries:

- \frac{2}{e} + 1

= - \frac{2}{e} + 1
