I = c -(ye^(-2y))/2 - e^(-2y)/4

Explanation:

We have

I = int y/e^(2y)dy

With some simple rewriting, based on the properties of exponentials 1/a^(x) = a^(-x)

I = int ye^(-2y)dy

If we say

u = y so du = dy
dv = e^(-2y)dy so v = -e^(-2y)/2

By the integration by parts formula

int udv = uv - int vdu

I = -(ye^(-2y))/2 - int-e^(-2y)/2dy

Putting the constants outside of the integral

I = -(ye^(-2y))/2 +1/2int e^(-2y)dy
I = c -(ye^(-2y))/2 - e^(-2y)/4
