Find the derivative of f(x)=xe^(-x) and hence find the integral of xe^(-x).
Thanks

Integrate both sides:

How do you type in "maths language" on VN? like brightsky's post
Check here. There's a bit of a learning curve to it though, but it's worth learning if you're expecting to post lots of questions on the maths board.

out of intrest, how long did it take you guys to get used to latex? i know that i tried once, i failed miserably, and from then on have never used latex again.....
It doesn't actually take too long :)
I learnt the basics over a week or so, and have been refining it ever since :)

LaTeX can be used with programs for creating documents like tests etc. :)

for both, seriously, latex is a great skill to have, it is the standard program to type up science documents and also in uni the very first project we had, we had to type up our work, for those that already knew how to use latex, it was a breeze.
personally, ive typed up every single uni maths assignment with latex (using texnic centre), looks pr0 and easy to use.

Every assignment I had handed in this year was "Nice use of LaTeX".

Texnic Centre is the bomb. It's so pro for writing up lab reports or technincal rubbish because its so flexible(like your mum)

Or if you lazy like me and don't want to learn all the coding used in Latex, you can always just write it up on here:Most academic journals want their papers submitted in a readable format and
