Integral(exp((-2*x)/a)*x, (x, 0, 1))
Use integration by parts:
Let and let .
Then .
To find :
Let .
Then let and substitute :
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
The integral of the exponential function is itself.
So, the result is:
Now substitute back in:
Now evaluate the sub-integral.

The integral of the exponential function is itself.
So, the result is:
Now substitute back in:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
Add the constant of integration:
The answer is:
