TopicIntegration by Parts
TypeDouble integration by parts
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward double integration by parts question with a polynomial times exponential. While it requires two applications of the technique and careful bookkeeping, it follows a standard pattern taught in C4 with no conceptual surprises. The definite integral evaluation is routine, making this slightly easier than average.

AnswerMarks Guidance
Use \(u = x^2 + 1\), \(dv = e^{2x}\) or \(u = x^2\), \(dv = e^{2x}\)M1 \(1^{\text{st}}\) stage \(= f(x) +/- \int g(x)\, dx\)
\(1^{\text{st}}\) stage \(= \frac{1}{2}(x^2+1)e^{2x} - \int x\,e^{2x}\,dx\) or \(\frac{1}{2}x^2e^{2x} - \int xe^{2x}\,dx\)A1
For \(\int x\,e^{2x}\,dx\), use \(u = x\), \(dv = e^{2x}\)M1 ditto
\(= \frac{1}{2}x\,e^{2x} - \frac{1}{4}e^{2x}\)A1 Tolerate second sign error in \(-\int xe^{2x}\,dx\)
Complete final stage \(= \frac{1}{2}(x^2+1)e^{2x} - \frac{1}{4}(2x-1)e^{2x}\)A1 soi; may be separate terms
Correct (method) use of limits seen anywhereM1 Do not accept \((\ldots) - 0\)
Final answer \(= \frac{3}{4}e^2 - \frac{3}{4}\)A1 ISW; if A0, answer of \(4.79\ldots \rightarrow\) M1
