$\int e^{x}\big[f(x)+f'(x)\big]\,dx$ equals

A$e^{x}f'(x)+C$
B$f(x)+f'(x)+C$
C$e^{x}f(x)+C$
D$e^{x}\big[f(x)-f'(x)\big]+C$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. $e^{x}f(x)+C$
1. Split into $\int e^{x}f(x)\,dx+\int e^{x}f'(x)\,dx$. 2. Integrate $\int e^{x}f(x)\,dx$ by parts: $e^{x}f(x)-\int e^{x}f'(x)\,dx$. 3. Adding back $\int e^{x}f'(x)\,dx$, the two integral terms cancel. 4. Result: $e^{x}f(x)+C$. _Source: syllabus Mathematics Ch 7 "Integrals", p.328_
