Expand the integral by distributing f(y):
f(x) = e^x + ∫₀¹ y f(y) dy + x e^x ∫₀¹ f(y) dySince the integrals evaluate to constants, let:
A = ∫₀¹ y f(y) dy B = ∫₀¹ f(y) dyThus, the function becomes:
f(x) = e^x + A + B x e^xStep 1: Setting up equation for A
Substitute f(y) = e^y + A + B y e^y back into the integral for A:
A = ∫₀¹ y(e^y + A + B y e^y) dy A = ∫₀¹ (y e^y + A y + B y² e^y) dyIntegrate by parts: ∫₀¹ y e^y dy = [y e^y - e^y]₀¹ = (e - e) - (0 - 1) = 1 ∫₀¹ y² e^y dy = [y² e^y - 2y e^y + 2e^y]₀¹ = (e - 2e + 2e) - 2 = e - 2 ∫₀¹ A y dy = (A)/(2)
So,
A = 1 + (A)/(2) + B(e - 2) (A)/(2) - B(e - 2) = 1 (1)Step 2: Setting up equation for B
Substitute f(y) back into the integral for B:
B = ∫₀¹ (e^y + A + B y e^y) dyIntegrate terms: ∫₀¹ e^y dy = e - 1 ∫₀¹ A dy = A ∫₀¹ B y e^y dy = B(1) = B
So,
B = (e - 1) + A + B0 = e - 1 + A A = 1 - e

Step 3: Calculating f(0)
Substitute $A = 1 - einto the expression forf(0): From the general equation,f(x) = e^x + A + B x e^x.
f(0) = e⁰ + A + B(0)e⁰ = 1 + Af(0) = 1 + (1 - e) = 2 - eThe question asks for
e + f(0):e + f(0) = e + (2 - e) = 2Pattern Recognition
