Homework Statement



∫x3e5x2 dx

Homework Equations



uv-∫vdv

The Attempt at a Solution



I've tried this one a few times, but keep getting answers that are just out there. Could someone, if possible, work out just the beginning.

OK, just one hint to get you started. You should start by expressing the problem as:

\int (x^2).(xe^{5x^2})dx
 
Hmm okay, got it.

So let's say U = x2
dU = 2x

dv = xe5x2
V=1/10e5x2

Then, plug into the equation, and you get...

(x2)(1/10e5x2) - ∫(1/10e5x2)2x dx

EDIT: Just got it, thanks a lot for your time :).

No worries. :smile:
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
