∫▒〖(2x-1)e^(-x) 〗 dx



I don't want to butcher this but I know you use integration by parts, I just don't know how to do this one in particular because i is one of the simple ones I was told. Please Help

Integration by parts is correct. Let u=2x-1 and dv=e^(-x) dx. What is du? What is v?
 

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

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...
