Answer

$$x^{4}e^x-4x^{3}e^x+12x^{2}e^x-24 \left[x e^x- e^x \right]+c$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \int x^{4}e^x d x$$ by using the form $$ \int x^{n} e^xd x = x^{n}e^x-n \int x^{n-1} e^xd x $$ \begin{align*} \int x^{4}e^x d x&=x^{4}e^x-4 \int x^{3} e^xd x\\ &=x^{4}e^x-4\left[x^{3}e^x-3 \int x^{2} e^xd x\right] \\ &=x^{4}e^x-4x^{3}e^x+12\left[x^{2}e^x-2 \int x e^xd x\right] \\ &=x^{4}e^x-4x^{3}e^x+12x^{2}e^x-24 \left[x e^x- e^x \right]+c \end{align*}
