Definite Integrals

Method: Differentiate both sides. given $f (x) = x^{2} + \int_{0}^{x} e^{- (x - t)} f (t) d t$ $f (x) = x^{2} + e^{- x} \int_{0}^{x} e^{t} f (t) d t$ . Multiply by $e^{x}$ : $e^{x} f (x) = x^{2} e^{x} + \int_{0}^{x} e^{t} f (t) d t$ . Differentiate wrt $x$ : $e^{x} f^{'} (x) + e^{x} f (x) = (x^{2} e^{x} + 2 x e^{x}) + e^{x} f (x)$ . Cancel $e^{x} f (x)$ : $e^{x} f^{'} (x) = e^{x} (x^{2} + 2 x)$ . divide by $e^{x}$ : $f^{'} (x) = x^{2} + 2 x$ . Integrate: $f (x) = x^{3} /3 + x^{2} + C$ . From original eq, $f (0) = 0$ . So $C = 0$ . $f (x) = x^{3} /3 + x^{2}$ .
