Problem 4.731 · medium

Find \( \displaystyle \int 3 x e^{- 3 x} \, dx \). (Omit the constant of integration.)
  1. \[ \int 3 x e^{- 3 x}\, dx \]
    integral algebraStart with the integral of the given function. Rearrange the integrand to prepare for integration by parts.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = - x e^{- 3 x} - \int \left(- e^{- 3 x}\right)\, dx \]
    partsApply integration by parts with u = x and dv = 3*exp(-3*x) dx.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = - x e^{- 3 x} + \int e^{- 3 x}\, dx \]
    algebraDistribute the negative sign and simplify the integral term.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = - x e^{- 3 x} - \frac{e^{- 3 x}}{3} \]
    antiderivativeEvaluate the remaining integral.✓ Proved
Answer \( \left(- x - \frac{1}{3}\right) e^{- 3 x} + C \)

✓ Nihil obstat Every line of this solution was proved by the computer algebra system SymPy. The answer was also checked a second way, without looking at the solution. Reviewers found nothing wrong with the explanation.

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 2026-10-09 with SymPy 1.14.0.
