SUMMARY

The integral of the function 4xe^(4x) is correctly calculated as xe^(4x) - 1/4e^(4x) + c. The user initially presented the integral as 4[1/4xe^(4x) - 1/16e^(4x) + c], which simplifies to the correct form. Verification through differentiation confirms the accuracy of the solution. This discussion highlights the importance of checking integration results through differentiation.

Hi, I'm wondering how to integrate 4xe^(4x).


I got:

4[1/4xe^(4x)-1/16e^(4x)+c] ?

which reduces to

xe^(4x)-1/4e^(4x)+c

Is this the correct integral?

Thanks.
