SUMMARY

The integral $\int\frac{xe^{2x}}{(2x+1)^2}dx$ can be effectively solved using integration by parts rather than simple substitution. The suggested substitution of $u=xe^{2x}$ leads to a complex transformation that complicates the integration process. Instead, setting $u=x e^{2x}$ and choosing $dv=\frac{dx}{(2x+1)^2}$ simplifies the integration. This method provides a clear pathway to the solution.

Homework Statement


[tex]\int\frac{xe^{2x}}{(2x+1)^2}dx[/tex] where "e" is the natural number


Homework Equations


(none)


The Attempt at a Solution


I tried many ways to solve this problem, but to no avail.
the hint on the book said to use substitution and make [tex]u=xe^{2x}[/tex] and [tex]du=2xe^{2x}+e^{2x}dx[/tex] but I don't see how that would work out; there is no way to change all the x's into u's.

I don't think they meant a simple substitution. They meant to integrate by parts with u=x*exp(2x). Pick dv=dx/(2x+1)^2. That works.
