Integral of (1-2*x)*exp(-2*x) dx

1. There are multiple ways to do this integral.

   Method #1

   1. Let $u = - 2 x$.

      Then let $du = - 2 dx$ and substitute $du$:

      $$\int \left(- \frac{u e^{u}}{2} - \frac{e^{u}}{2}\right)\, du$$

      1. Integrate term-by-term:

         1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

            $$\int \left(- \frac{u e^{u}}{2}\right)\, du = - \frac{\int u e^{u}\, du}{2}$$

            1. Use integration by parts:

               $$\int \operatorname{u} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{u}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{du}$$

               Let $u{\left(u \right)} = u$ and let $\operatorname{dv}{\left(u \right)} = e^{u}$.

               Then $\operatorname{du}{\left(u \right)} = 1$.

               To find $v{\left(u \right)}$:

               1. The integral of the exponential function is itself.

                  $$\int e^{u}\, du = e^{u}$$

               Now evaluate the sub-integral.

            2. The integral of the exponential function is itself.

               $$\int e^{u}\, du = e^{u}$$

            So, the result is: $- \frac{u e^{u}}{2} + \frac{e^{u}}{2}$

         1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

            $$\int \left(- \frac{e^{u}}{2}\right)\, du = - \frac{\int e^{u}\, du}{2}$$

            1. The integral of the exponential function is itself.

               $$\int e^{u}\, du = e^{u}$$

            So, the result is: $- \frac{e^{u}}{2}$

         The result is: $- \frac{u e^{u}}{2}$

      Now substitute $u$ back in:

      $$x e^{- 2 x}$$

   Method #2

   1. Rewrite the integrand:

      $$\left(1 - 2 x\right) e^{- 2 x} = - \left(2 x - 1\right) e^{- 2 x}$$

   2. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      $$\int \left(- \left(2 x - 1\right) e^{- 2 x}\right)\, dx = - \int \left(2 x - 1\right) e^{- 2 x}\, dx$$

      1. Let $u = 2 x$.

         Then let $du = 2 dx$ and substitute $\frac{du}{2}$:

         $$\int \frac{\left(u - 1\right) e^{- u}}{2}\, du$$

         1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

            $$\int \left(u - 1\right) e^{- u}\, du = \frac{\int \left(u - 1\right) e^{- u}\, du}{2}$$

            1. Let $u = - u$.

               Then let $du = - du$ and substitute $du$:

               $$\int \left(u e^{u} + e^{u}\right)\, du$$

               1. Integrate term-by-term:

                  1. Use integration by parts:

                     $$\int \operatorname{u} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{u}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{du}$$

                     Let $u{\left(u \right)} = u$ and let $\operatorname{dv}{\left(u \right)} = e^{u}$.

                     Then $\operatorname{du}{\left(u \right)} = 1$.

                     To find $v{\left(u \right)}$:

                     1. The integral of the exponential function is itself.

                        $$\int e^{u}\, du = e^{u}$$

                     Now evaluate the sub-integral.

                  2. The integral of the exponential function is itself.

                     $$\int e^{u}\, du = e^{u}$$

                  1. The integral of the exponential function is itself.

                     $$\int e^{u}\, du = e^{u}$$

                  The result is: $u e^{u}$

               Now substitute $u$ back in:

               $$- u e^{- u}$$

            So, the result is: $- \frac{u e^{- u}}{2}$

         Now substitute $u$ back in:

         $$- x e^{- 2 x}$$

      So, the result is: $x e^{- 2 x}$

   Method #3

   1. Use integration by parts:

      $$\int \operatorname{u} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{u}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{du}$$

      Let $u{\left(x \right)} = 1 - 2 x$ and let $\operatorname{dv}{\left(x \right)} = e^{- 2 x}$.

      Then $\operatorname{du}{\left(x \right)} = -2$.

      To find $v{\left(x \right)}$:

      1. Let $u = - 2 x$.

         Then let $du = - 2 dx$ and substitute $- \frac{du}{2}$:

         $$\int \left(- \frac{e^{u}}{2}\right)\, du$$

         Now substitute $u$ back in:

         $$- \frac{e^{- 2 x}}{2}$$

      Now evaluate the sub-integral.

   2. Let $u = - 2 x$.

      Then let $du = - 2 dx$ and substitute $- \frac{du}{2}$:

      $$\int \left(- \frac{e^{u}}{2}\right)\, du$$

         1. Use integration by parts:

            $$\int \operatorname{u} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{u}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{du}$$

            Let $u{\left(x \right)} = x$ and let $\operatorname{dv}{\left(x \right)} = e^{- 2 x}$.

            Then $\operatorname{du}{\left(x \right)} = 1$.
