# Math Help - Can you integrate this?

1. ## Can you integrate this?

$
{e}^{ {x}^{2 } }
$
?

with respect to x

The full question is $\iint {e}^{{ x}^{ 2} }$ dx dy by choosing the best order of integration

Limits for outside integral is $2\sqrt{ln2}$ and 0
Inside integral is $\sqrt{ln 2}$ and $\frac{y}{ 2}$

This integral has no closed form solution. You'll have to do it numerically.

Yup. I was wrong. I didn't get back in time to edit my post. Sorry!

How? do you mean re-write the exponential as a ln?

4. I can't make out your LaTeX there. Is this your integral?

$\int_{0}^{2\sqrt{\ln(2)}}\int_{y/2}^{\sqrt{\ln(2)}}e^{x^{2}}\,dx\,dy?$

In this case, reverse the order of integration, to obtain

$\int_{0}^{\sqrt{\ln(2)}}\int_{0}^{2x}e^{x^{2}}\,dy \,dx,$

and go from there. To get the limits, draw the region in the xy plane, and figure it out.

Thanks yes it is.

The order is not my problem its integrating that with repsect to x? You cant do it.

Once you have $\int_0^{2x} {e^{x^2 } dy} = \left. {ye^{x^2 } } \right|_{y = 0}^{2x} = 2xe^{x^2 }$ the rest is trivial.

???

We've still got to integrate $2xe^{x^2 }$ with respect to x

My bad i've been a numpty

u = x^2
du = 2xdx

integrate e^u du

= e^u = e ^ x^ 2

put the limits in =

e (ln2)^0.5 - e^0 = 1
