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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the nonelementary integral:

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

= 2 \frac{π}{2} erf (v)

Substitute back

v = \frac{u}{2}

= 2 \frac{π}{2} erf (\frac{u}{2})

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{1 + e ^{x}}{1 - e ^{2 x}} d x

\int t^{\frac{7}{2}} (t^{2} - 4 t + 17) d t

\int \frac{e ^{- x} - 1}{e ^{- x} + 1} d x

\int x^{9} (5 + x^{10}) d x

\int cos (2 x) 16 d x
