Answer

$$\displaystyle{{ \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } x e ^ { - x } - x ^ { 2 } e ^ { - x }\ dx=\frac{3}{e}-1 }} $$

Work Step by Step

${ f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } e ^ { - x } } \\ { g ( x ) = x e ^ { - x } }\\ { x ^ { 2 } e ^ { - x } = x e ^ { - x } }\\ x^2=x^1\\$ This expression is true when $x=0$ and $x=1$ $\displaystyle{ I = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 }g(x)-f(x)}\\ \displaystyle{{ I = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } x e ^ { - x } - x ^ { 2 } e ^ { - x }\ d x }} \\ \displaystyle{{ I = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } e ^ { - x } \left( x - x ^ { 2 } \right)\ d x }}$ $\displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{ll} u=x-x^2 & dv=e^{-x} \\ & \\ du=1-2x & v=-e^{-x} \end{array}\right]$ Integration by parts $\displaystyle{I = \left[ - ( x - x ^ { 2 } ) e ^ { - x } \right] _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } - \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } - e ^ { - x } \left( 1 - 2 x \right)\ dx}\\ \displaystyle{I =0 + \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } e ^ { - x } \left( 1 - 2 x \right)\ dx}\\$ $\displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{ll} u=1-2x & dv=e^{-x} \\ & \\ du=-2 & v=-e^{-x} \end{array}\right]$ Integration by parts $\displaystyle{I = \left[ - ( 1 - 2x ) e ^ { - x } \right] _ { 0 } ^ { 1 }-\int_{0}^{1}(-2)-e ^ { -x } }\\ \displaystyle{I = \left[ - ( 1 - 2x ) e ^ { - x } \right] _ { 0 } ^ { 1 }-2\int_{0}^{1}e ^ { -x } }\\ \displaystyle{I = \left(e^{-1}+1\right)-2\left[- e ^ { -x } \right]_{0}^{1}}\\ \displaystyle{I = \left(e^{-1}+1\right)-2\left(- e ^ { -1 } \right)+2\left(-e^0\right)}\\ \displaystyle{I = e^{-1}+1+2 e ^ { -1 }-2}\\ \displaystyle{I = 3e^{-1}-1}\\ \displaystyle{I = \frac{3}{e}-1}$
