Step-by-step explanation

05x+[x]ex-[x]dx=αe-1+β

01xexdx+12x+1ex-1dx+23x+2ex-2dx+34x+3ex-3dx+45x+4ex-4dx

Let x-1=p, x-2=q, x-3=r, x-4=w

01xexdx+01p+2epdp+01q+4eqdq+01r+6erdr+01w+8ewdw

01xexdx+01x+2exdx+01x+4exdx+01x+6exdx+01x+8exdx

=015x+20exdx=501x+4exdx

=5x+4e-x-101-01e-x-1dx

=5-5e-1+4+-e-1+1=5-6e-1+5=-30e-1+25

α=-30,β=25

(α+β)2=25
