Yet another quick integration plea for help :(

Integrating:

(x^2)*(e^(-3x))dx

I've been integrating for a while, and I see a pattern. It never fully integrates though. What can I do with this pattern?

I don't think it's ever going to equal the initial problem like the sine and cosine ones do.

Three things (though they aren't mutually exclusive) that pretty much solve any integration:
1. Chain Rule
2. Integration by Parts
3. Leibniz's Integration and Differentiation Rules

This problem is an exercise for integration by parts. You will do this 3 times before you break down the x^2 component.
