The correct answer is: -52

Let I=x5e-x2dx

Let, -x2=txdx=-12dt

 I=-12t2etdt

By using integrating by parts, i.e. u·vdx=uvdx-ddxuvdxdx+c, we get

I=-12t2etdt-2tetdtdt+c

I=-12t2et-2tetdt+c

Again, applying integrating by parts, we get

I=-12t2et-2tetdt-1·etdt+c

I=-12t2et-2tet-et+c

I=-12t2et-2tet+2et+c

I=-et2t2-2t+2+c

I=-e-x22x4+2x2+2+c

Given, I=x5e-x2dx=gxe-x2+c

gx=-12x4+2x2+2

g-1=-12-14+2-12+2

g-1=-52.
