Find a reduction formula for the following integrals: I_n = ∫ x^(2n) * e^(2x) dx
Ayushi S.
Derive the reduction formula. $$ \int \frac{1}{\left(x^{2}+a^{2}\right)^{n+1}} d x=\frac{1}{2 a^{2} n} \frac{x}{\left(x^{2}+a^{2}\right)^{n}}+\frac{2 n-1}{2 a^{2} n} \int \frac{1}{\left(x^{2}+a^{2}\right)^{n}} d x $$
