how do i integrate
(xe^(2x))/((1+2x)^2)??
do i substitute 1 + 2x = w?

but if i do, how do i proceed from there?

I would definitely recommend $w=1+2x$ to begin. Linear substitutions like that cost you nothing, and could gain you quite a bit, as in this case. What is the resulting $w$ integral?
 
Re: integation by parts

i got 1/4(e^(w-1)/w - e^(w-1)/w^2))
but this doesn't look any easier... :/
 
Re: integation by parts

Here, let me type it out $\LaTeX$ style:
$$\frac{1}{4e} \int \frac{e^{w}(w-1)}{w^{2}} \, dw.$$
Is that what you have?
 
Re: integation by parts

yes, and i notice one technique you used, which is to take out the e^(-1), but i still don't see how i should go..

thx for the help btw :)EDIT:
actually i found the answer;
i had to let u = xe^(2x)

Another way to solve this integral is to notice that
\begin{align*}
\frac{d}{dx} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}&=\frac{g(x)\, f'(x)-f(x) \, g'(x)}{(g(x))^{2}} \\
\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}+C&=\int \frac{g(x)\, f'(x)-f(x) \, g'(x)}{(g(x))^{2}} \, dx.
\end{align*}
The quotient rule doesn't come in handy all that often, but when it does, it surprises you.
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
