integral of e^{-kx^2}

\int e^{- k x^{2}} d x

\frac{π}{2 k} erf (k x) + C

Solution steps

\int e^{- k x^{2}} d x

= \int e^{- (k x)^{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{e ^{- u^{2}}}{k} d u

= \int \frac{e ^{- u^{2}}}{k} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{k} \cdot \int e^{- u^{2}} d u

Use the nonelementary integral:

\int e^{- u^{2}} d u = \frac{π}{2} erf (u)

= \frac{1}{k} \cdot \frac{π}{2} erf (u)

Substitute back

u = k x

= \frac{1}{k} \cdot \frac{π}{2} erf (k x)

Simplify

\frac{1}{k} \cdot \frac{π}{2} erf (k x) : \frac{π}{2 k} erf (k x)

= \frac{π}{2 k} erf (k x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{π}{2 k} erf (k x) + C

\int x^{2} (5 - x^{3})^{\frac{2}{3}} d x

\int \frac{1 - x ^{3}}{( 1 + x ^{2} ) ( 1 - x ^{2} )} d x

\int (x^{2} - x + 5) e^{x} d x

\int \frac{x + 5}{x ^{2} + 6 x + 13} d x

\int (e^{x} + \frac{1}{8 x}) d x
