Question

Evaluate ∫₋₁² x·e^(6x) dx
Options
A (11/36)e¹²-(7/36)e⁻⁶
B (11/36)e²-(7/36)e⁻⁷
C (7/36)e¹²-(7/36)e⁻⁶
D (11/36)e¹²+(7/36)e⁻⁶
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Using the antiderivative (x/6)e^(6x)-(1/36)e^(6x), evaluate from -1 to 2: at x=2 you get (11/36)e¹², and at x=-1 you get -(7/36)e⁻⁶. Subtracting gives (11/36)e¹²+(7/36)e⁻⁶.

Hint

Apply the by-parts antiderivative from the previous question and evaluate at the two bounds.
