The first step here is to pick u and dv. We want to choose u and dv so that when we compute
du and v and plugging everything into the Integration by Parts formula the new integral we get
is one that we can do.
With that in mind it looks like the following choices for u and dv should work for us.
1
x
u = 2 + 5x dv = e 3 dx
Hide Step 2
Next, we need to compute du (by differentiating u) and v (by integrating dv).
u = 2 + 5x → du = 5dx

x x
dv = e 3 dx → v = 3e 3
Hide Step 3
We can deal with the limits as we do the integral or we can just do the indefinite integral and
then take care of the limits in the last step. We will be using the later way of dealing with the
limits for this problem.
So, plugging u, du, v and dv into the Integration by Parts formula gives,

∫ (2 + 5x) e 3 = (2 + 5x) (3e 3 ) − ∫ 5 (3e 3 ) dx = 3e 3 (2 + 5x) − 15 ∫ e3 dx

Okay, the new integral we get is easily doable so let’s evaluate it to get,
1 1 1 1 1
x x x x x
∫ (2 + 5x) e 3 = 3e 3 (2 + 5x) − 45e 3 + c = 15xe 3 − 39e 3 + c
Hide Step 5
The final step is then to take care of the limits.

∫ (2 + 5x) e 3 dx = (15xe 3 − 39e 3 ) = −39 − 51e = −415.8419

Do not get excited about the fact that the lower limit is larger than the upper limit. This can
happen on occasion and in no way affects how the integral is evaluated.
