Answer

\[-e^{-x}[x^2+2x+2]+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int x^2e^{-x}dx\] Using integration by parts \[I=x^2\int e^{-x}dx-\int\left[(x^2)'\int e^{-x}dx\right]dx\] \[I=-x^2e^{-x}+2\int xe^{-x}dx\] Using integration by parts \[I=-x^2e^{-x}+2\left[x\int e^{-x}dx-\int \left((x)'\int e^{-x}dx\right)dx\right]\] \[I=-x^2e^{-x}+2\left[-x e^{-x}+\int e^{-x}dx\right]\] \[I=-x^2e^{-x}-2xe^{-x}-2e^{-x}+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration \[I=-e^{-x}[x^2+2x+2]+C\] Hence , \[I=-e^{-x}[x^2+2x+2]+C\]
