Let Kn=∫xnekx dxK_n=\displaystyle\int x^{n}e^{kx}\,dx with constant k≠0k\ne 0 and integer n≥1n\ge 1. Which of the following identities correctly relates KnK_n to Kn−1K_{n-1}? a) Kn=xnekxk+nk Kn−1K_n=\dfrac{x^{n}e^{kx}}{k}+\dfrac{n}{k}\,K_{n-1} b) Kn=xnekxk−nk Kn−1K_n=\dfrac{x^{n}e^{kx}}{k}-\dfrac{n}{k}\,K_{n-1} c) Kn=xnekxn−kn Kn−1K_n=\dfrac{x^{n}e^{kx}}{n}-\dfrac{k}{n}\,K_{n-1} d) Kn=xnekxk− Kn−1K_n=\dfrac{x^{n}e^{kx}}{k}-\,K_{n-1}
