Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciproclas. That means their product equals -1.

If you know the slope of a line, to find the slope of a perpendicular line, flip the slope and change the sign.

Given line: slope = -2

-2 is the same as -2/1

Flip it: -1/2

Change the sign: 1/2

Answer: 1/2

Use integration by parts to find the integrals in Exercise.<br> ∫(x+6)ex dx.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$xe^x+5e^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given integral $\int (x+6)e^xdx$

$\int (xe^x+6e^x)dx$

$\int (I_1+I_2)dx$ , here $I_1=xe^x$ and $I_2=6e^x$

Now first integrate $I_1$

So $I_1=\int xe^x$

Integrating by part

$I_1=x\int e^x-\int e^x\frac{d}{dx}x$

$I_1=x e^x- e^x$

$I_2=6\int e^x=6e^x$

So $I=I_1+I_2=xe^x-e^x+6e^x=xe^x+5e^x$
