Integral of \( \displaystyle x^{2} e^{x} \)

Problem 4.144 · easy

Find \( \displaystyle \int x^{2} e^{x} \, dx \). (Omit the constant of integration.)
  1. \[ \int x^{2} e^{x}\, dx \]
    integralStart with the integral of the integrand.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = x^{2} e^{x} - \int 2 x e^{x}\, dx \]
    partsApply integration by parts with u = x**2 and dv = exp(x) dx.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = x^{2} e^{x} - 2 \int x e^{x}\, dx \]
    linearityPull the constant factor out of the integral.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = x^{2} e^{x} - 2 x e^{x} + 2 \int e^{x}\, dx \]
    partsApply integration by parts to the remaining integral with u = x and dv = exp(x) dx.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = x^{2} e^{x} - 2 x e^{x} + 2 e^{x} \]
    antiderivative algebraEvaluate the integral of exp(x). Distribute the constant and simplify.✓ Proved
Answer \( \left(x^{2} - 2 x + 2\right) e^{x} + C \)

  • gpt-oss:20b: pass
  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass — The solution correctly applies integration by parts twice, followed by standard algebraic simplification. Each step changes only one aspect of the expression and uses appropriate labels from the fixed vocabulary.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-29 with SymPy 1.14.0.
