Recognize Pattern: Recognize the pattern in the integral.We are given the integral of the function eex⋅ex with respect to x. This resembles the pattern of an exponential function where the derivative of the exponent is present outside the exponential function.
Make Substitution: Let u=ex.We make a substitution to simplify the integral. Let u=ex. Then, we need to find the derivative of u with respect to x, which is dxdu=ex.
Rewrite in Terms of u: Rewrite the integral in terms of u. Since dxdu=ex, we can write dx=exdu. Now, we can substitute u for ex and exdu for dx in the integral. The integral becomes ∫eu⋅(exdu).
Simplify Integral: Simplify the integral.Notice that ex is u, so we can cancel ex in the numerator and the denominator. The integral simplifies to ∫eudu.
Integrate with u: Integrate with respect to u. The integral of eu with respect to u is eu+C, where C is the constant of integration.
Substitute Back: Substitute back in terms of x. We originally let u=ex, so we substitute back to get the integral in terms of x. The result is eex+C.
