Step by step solution

01

Apply integration by parts

To solve this integral, we will apply integration by parts with \(u = x^5 + 6x^4 + 5x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1\) and \(dv = e^{x-1}dx\). To apply the integration by parts, we first need to find the derivatives and antiderivatives of \(u\) and \(v\): \[ du = (5x^4 + 24x^3 + 15x^2 + 8x + 3) dx \] \[ v = \int e^{x-1} dx = e^{x-1} \] Now, apply integration by parts formula: \[ \int u dv = uv - \int v du \] Plug in \(u\), \(v\), and \(du\), and compute the integral: \[ \begin{aligned} \int_0^1 \left(x^5 + 6x^4 + 5x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1\right) e^{x-1} dx &= \left[(x^5 + 6x^4 + 5x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1)e^{x-1}\right]_0^1 - \int_0^1 e^{x-1}(5x^4 + 24x^3 + 15x^2 + 8x + 3) dx \\ \end{aligned} \]
02

Compute the definite integral

Now, find the definite integral of the above expression: \[ \begin{aligned} \int_0^1 \left(x^5 + 6x^4 + 5x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1\right) e^{x-1} dx &= (1^5 + 6\cdot 1^4 + 5 \cdot 1^3 + 4 \cdot 1^2 + 3 \cdot 1 + 1)e^{1-1} - (0^5 + 6 \cdot 0^4 + 5 \cdot 0^3 + 4 \cdot 0^2 + 3 \cdot 0 + 1)e^{0-1}\\ &\quad - \int_0^1 e^{x-1}(5x^4 + 24x^3 + 15x^2 + 8x + 3) dx \\ &= (20-1)e^0 - \int_0^1 e^{x-1}(5x^4 + 24x^3 + 15x^2 + 8x + 3) dx \\ &= 19 - \int_0^1 e^{x-1}(5x^4 + 24x^3 + 15x^2 + 8x + 3) dx \\ \end{aligned} \]
03

Observe the remaining integral and choose the correct answer

Observe the remaining integral term: \[ \int_0^1 e^{x-1}(5x^4 + 24x^3 + 15x^2 + 8x + 3) dx \] Since all powers of \(x\) are strictly positive and the exponential function \(e^{x-1}\) is always positive for \(0 \le x \le 1\), the remaining integral term will strictly positive. Thus, the value of \[ 19 - \int_0^1 e^{x-1}(5x^4 + 24x^3 + 15x^2 + 8x + 3) dx \] will be strictly less than 19. Out of the given options, only option (a) with the value of 5 satisfies this condition. The answer is therefore: \[ \int_0^1 \left(x^5 + 6x^4 + 5x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1\right) e^{x-1} dx = \boxed{5} \]
