What Is the Value of the Integral $\int_0^1 xe^x \, dx$?

In summary, the 4.2.5 AP Calculus Exam IBP is a multiple-choice exam with 45 questions divided into two sections. It covers topics such as limits, derivatives, integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Calculators are allowed, but only certain types. The exam is scored on a scale of 1 to 5 and a score of 3 or higher is needed for potential college credit. Preparation tips include reviewing notes, completing practice problems, and familiarizing oneself with the format and timing of the exam.

$\tiny{4.2.5}$

$\displaystyle\int^1_0{xe^x\ dx}$

is equal to
$A.\ \ {1}\quad B. \ \ {-1}\quad C. \ \ {2-e}\quad D.\ \ {\dfrac{e^2}{2}}\quad E.\ \ {e-1}$

$\begin{array}{lll}
\textit{IBP}
&uv-\displaystyle\int v' dv
&\tiny{(1)}\\ \\
\textit{substitution}
&u=x,\ v'=e^x
&\tiny{(2)}\\ \\
\textit{calculate}
&I=xe^x-\displaystyle\int \ e^xdx\biggr|^1_0
=xe^x-e^x\biggr|^1_0=1
&\tiny{(3)}
\end{array}$

ok I think this is ok possible typos
but curious if this could be solve not using IBP since the only variable is x

$t=e^x \implies x = \ln{t} \implies dx = \dfrac{dt}{t}$

$\displaystyle \int xe^x \, dx = \int \ln{t} \, dt$

If you happen to know the antiderivative of $\ln{t}$ off the top of your head, great ... if not, you would need to use integration by parts anyway.
