The definite integral to evaluate is ∫01ex(1+x2)2(1−x)2dx.
Expand (1−x)2:
(1−x)2=1−2x+x2
The integral becomes:
∫01ex(1+x2)21−2x+x2dx
Regroup the numerator as (1+x2)−2x:
∫01ex(1+x2)21+x2−2xdx
Split into two integrals:
∫01ex(1+x2)21+x2dx−∫01ex(1+x2)22xdx
=∫011+x2exdx−∫01ex(1+x2)22xdx
Note that:
dxd[1+x21]=(1+x2)2−2x
Therefore:
(1+x2)22x=−dxd[1+x21]
For the second integral, apply integration by parts:
∫01exdxd[1+x21]dx=[ex⋅1+x21]01−∫01ex1+x21dx
Substituting back:
∫011+x2exdx−([ex⋅1+x21]01−∫011+x2exdx)
The two ∫1+x2exdx terms cancel:
=−[ex⋅1+x21]01
=[ex⋅1+x21]01
Evaluate at the limits:
At x=1: 1+12e1
=2e
At x=0: 1+02e0
=11
=1
Therefore:
2e−1
