There is no elementary closed form for \(\displaystyle \L
\int {xe^{x^4 } dx}\).

However, \(\displaystyle \L
xe^{x^4 } = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {\frac{{x^{4n + 1} }}{{n!}}}\) which can be integrated term by term.
So one can get a good approximation.

Re: Definite Integrals

Could someone please tell me if I am doing this problem correctly?

1)Evaluate \(\displaystyle \int xe^{x^2} dx\) from 0 to 2
\(\displaystyle u=x^2 \frac{1}{2}du=xdx\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \int e^u du\)
\(\displaystyle =\frac{e^u}{2}\)
\(\displaystyle =\frac{e^{x^2}}{2}\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{e^{2^2}}{2} - \frac{e^{0^2}}{2}\)
\(\displaystyle =\frac{e^4}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\)

Nice work, Lisa.
