What is the integral of xe^(x^2)?

The integral of xex2xe^{x^2} is 12ex2+C\frac{1}{2}e^{x^2} + C.

Solution. We want to determine the integral of xex2xe^{x^2}, i.e.:
xex2dx.\begin{align*} \int xe^{x^2}dx. \end{align*}
We will use the substitution method. Let u=x2u = x^2, then du=2xdxdu = 2x dx. Therefore, we get:
xex2dx=12eudu=12eu+C=12ex2+C.\begin{align*} \int xe^{x^2}dx &= \frac{1}{2} \int e^u du \\ &= \frac{1}{2}e^u + C \\ &= \frac{1}{2}e^{x^2} + C. \end{align*}
Therefore, the integral of xex2xe^{x^2} is 12ex2+C\frac{1}{2}e^{x^2} + C.
