Homework Statement

Evaluate: \int{xe^{ax}}dx

Homework Equations

Integration by substitution

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm on a phone at the moment. My work: http://postimg.org/image/v4hdr5uqx/

The correct answer was:
\frac{xe^{ax}}{a}-\frac{e^{ax}}{a^2}

You should do this integral by parts. Some of your original substitutions don't look OK.

I feel like I'm getting closer but I'm still making a dumb mistake. Is it with the derivatives?

If dv = e^{ax} dx, then v = e^{ax} is wrong. There are also multiple errors on the second line, but you need to fix what I said first.

Got it. Thanks for pointing out my mistakes.
\int{xe^{ax}}dx u=x du=dx dv=e^{ax}dx v=\frac{e^{ax}}{a}
\frac{xe^{ax}}{a}-\int{\frac{e^{ax}}{a}}dx
\frac{xe^{ax}}{a}-\int{e^{ax}a^{-1}}dx=\frac{xe^{ax}}{a}-\frac{e^{ax}}{a^2}

Power rule + derivative mistake
Thanks for the help.
