$\displaystyle\int\theta^2 e^{2\theta}\,d\theta$ equals:

A$\frac{1}{4}e^{2\theta}(2\theta^2+2\theta+1)+c$
B$\frac{1}{4}e^{2\theta}(\theta^2-2\theta+1)+c$
C$\frac{1}{2}e^{2\theta}(\theta^2-\theta)+c$
D$\frac{1}{4}e^{2\theta}(2\theta^2-2\theta+1)+c$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. $\frac{1}{4}e^{2\theta}(2\theta^2-2\theta+1)+c$
1. Use integration by parts twice, with $\int u\,dv=uv-\int v\,du$. 2. First pass: $u=\theta^2$, $dv=e^{2\theta}d\theta$ gives $\dfrac{\theta^2e^{2\theta}}{2}-\int\theta e^{2\theta}d\theta$. 3. Second pass on $\int\theta e^{2\theta}d\theta$ gives $\dfrac{\theta e^{2\theta}}{2}-\dfrac{e^{2\theta}}{4}$. 4. Combining: $\dfrac{\theta^2e^{2\theta}}{2}-\dfrac{\theta e^{2\theta}}{2}+\dfrac{e^{2\theta}}{4}+c$. 5. Factoring $\dfrac{e^{2\theta}}{4}$ gives $\dfrac{1}{4}e^{2\theta}(2\theta^2-2\theta+1)+c$. The middle sign is minus; a plus there means one parts step dropped its sign. _Source: NECTA ACSEE 2023 Advanced Mathematics 142/1, Question 9: Integration_
