Calculating the integral of a function of the form $kx e^{ax^2}$ using integration by substitution, where $k=2na$.

Since this integral is of the form \\[ \\int a \\,g'(x)f(g(x))\\,dx,\\] where $a$ is a constant, we can use the method of substitution to solve it. 

\n

Firstly, we must make a change of variables from $x$ to $u$, where $u$ is equal to the 'inner' function, $g(x)$.

\n

So, for\\[ \\simplify{int({2*n*a}x*e^({a}x^2),x)},\\]

\n

let $u=\\color{red}{\\simplify{{a}x^2}}.$

\n

Now, we need to calculate the differential, $du$, where \\[ du = \\left(\\frac{du}{dx}\\right)dx. \\]

\n

Differentiating $u$ with respect to $x$:

\n

\\[ \\frac{du}{dx}= \\simplify{{2a}x}.\\]

\n

Therefore, \\[ \\color{blue}{du = \\simplify{{2a}x}\\, dx}.\\]

\n

We can see that rather than having the exact expression for the differential in the integral, we have a multiple of it instead. It is good practice to write the integral again so that it does include the differential, and the multiple on the outside. This can make it easier when expressing it in terms of $u$:

\n

\\[ \\simplify{int({2*n*a}x*e^({a}x^2),x)} =\\var{n}\\int \\color{blue}{\\simplify{{2a}x}}e^{\\color{red}{\\simplify{{a}x^2}}} \\color{blue}{\\text{d}x} = \\var{n}\\int e^\\color{red}{u}\\color{blue}{\\text{d}u}.\\] 

\n

Calculating the integral in terms of $u$:

\n

\\[ \\simplify[fractionNumbers]{{n}int(e^u,u) = {n}e^u + c}.\\]

\n

\n

Finally, we must rewrite our solution back in terms of the original variable $x$:

\n

\\[ \\simplify[fractionNumbers]{{n}e^u + c = {n}e^({a}x^2) + c}.\\]
