2(ex+2)1ex3+C

Explanation:

We have:

I=e2x1exdx

Let u=ex. This implies that du=exdx. We can write e2x as ex(ex):

I=ex(ex)dx1ex=u1udu

Letting v=1u, such that dv=du, and manipulating to show that u=1v:

I=1vvdv=(v12v12)dv

Integrating using the vndv=vn+1n+1,n1 rule:

I=v3232v1212=23v322v12=2v(v3)3

Since v=1u, and u=ex, so v=1ex:

I=21ex(1ex3)3=2(ex+2)1ex3+C
