The correct answer is: 4

It is given that,

f(x)=x2e2x

Differentiating the above equation we get,

f'(x)=2e2xx2+2xe2x

0=2e2xx2+x

x2+x=0

x=0, -1

The maxima and minima is obtained at -2, -1, 0, 2 as the
function bound.

Thus,

f(-2)=(-2)2e-4=4e-4

f(-1)=(1)2e-2

f(0)=0

f(2)=(2)2e4=4e4

Thus, p=4e4 and q=0.

pe-4+qe4=4e4e-4+0=4e0=4
