81. Possible and impossible integrals

Let Iₙ = ∫ xⁿ e⁻ˣ² dx, where n is a nonnegative integer.

d. Show that, in general, if n is odd, then Iₙ = -½ e⁻ˣ² pₙ₋₁(x), where pₙ₋₁ is a polynomial of degree n - 1.

Practice with tabular integration Evaluate the following integrals using tabular integration (refer to Exercise 77).

b. ∫ 7x e³ˣ dx

82. A family of exponentials The curves y = x * e^(-a * x) are shown in the figure for a = 1, 2, and 3.

e. Does this pattern continue? Is it true that A(1, ln b) = a² * A(a, (ln b)/a)?

75. {Use of Tech} Oscillator displacements Suppose a mass on a spring that is slowed by friction has the position function:

s(t) = e⁻ᵗ sin t

c. Generalize part (b) and find the average value of the position on the interval [nπ, (n+1)π], for n = 0, 1, 2, ...

Use any method to evaluate the integrals in Exercises 65–70.

∫ x cos³(x) dx
