SUMMARY
The integral of x(e^x) can be solved using integration by parts, a technique derived from the Product Rule of differentiation. The formula for integration by parts is given by ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du. In this case, u is chosen as x and dv as e^x dx, leading to the solution of the integral through systematic application of this formula.
