Answer

$\int_{0}^{2}(x-1)~e^{(x-1)^2}~dx = 0$

Work Step by Step

$\int_{0}^{2}(x-1)~e^{(x-1)^2}~dx=\int_{0}^{1}(x-1)~e^{(x-1)^2}~dx+\int_{1}^{2}(x-1)~e^{(x-1)^2}~dx$ Let $u = (x-1)^2$ $\frac{du}{dx} = 2(x-1)$ $dx = \frac{du}{2(x-1)}$ When $x = 0$, then $u = 1$ When $x = 1$, then $u = 0$ When $x = 2$, then $u = 1$ $\int_{1}^{0} (x-1)e^u~\frac{du}{2(x-1)}+\int_{0}^{1} (x-1)e^u~\frac{du}{2(x-1)}$ $=\int_{1}^{0} \frac{1}{2}e^u~du+\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{2}e^u~du$ $=-\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{2}e^u~du+\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{2}e^u~du$ $= 0$
