Re: Challenge of the Day:
#8 this is probably totally wrong but:
(x^2/a)e^ax - (2x/a^2)e^ax + (2/a^3)e^ax + C
sorry for the rubbish way of typing it... wish i knew how to put in the proper formula font :S

Re: Challenge of the Day:
I get the same answer as you, but with the third term added instead of subtracted.
The formula font is called LaTeX, and if you're interested there's a tutorial stickied at the top of the Help Me board.

It wanted to be normal.

Re: Challenge of the Day:
oh yeah, it should be added, because its (x^2/a)e^ax - ((2x/a^2)e^ax - ∫ (2/a)e^ax) so its + the third term. sorry my bad, fixed it 
i always forget those little minus signs... *sigh*
