integral of e^{-((x^2))/2}

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

(\frac{π}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} erf (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{a ^{n}}{b ^{n}} = (\frac{a}{b})^{n}

\frac{x ^{2}}{2} = (\frac{x}{2})^{2}

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the nonelementary integral:

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

= 2 \frac{π}{2} erf (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

= 2 \frac{π}{2} erf (\frac{x}{2})

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

= (\frac{π}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} erf (\frac{x}{2}) + C

\int x (x - 4)^{9} d x

\int \frac{6 + e ^{3 x}}{e ^{2 x}} d x

\int \frac{2 x ^{2}}{x ^{2} - 6 x + 10} d x

\int (\frac{1}{x ^{4}} - x^{4} - \frac{1}{2}) d x

\int 2 (2 x + 6)^{8} d x
