Question
(a) Evaluate the integral
9x"e
dx
for n = 0, 1, 2, and 3.
n = 0
9
n = 1
e
n = 2
n = 3
(b) Guess the value of
x"e
dx
when n is an arbitrary positive integer.
(c) Prove your guess using mathematical induction.
Proof (by mathematical induction): Let P(k) be the following equation.
x*e*dx = k!
xp,
We will show that P(k) is true for every integer k > 0.
