integral of e^{(-x^2)/4}

\int e^{\frac{- x ^{2}}{4}} d x

π erf (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int e^{\frac{- x ^{2}}{4}} d x

Simplify

= \int e^{- \frac{x ^{2}}{4}} d x

Apply exponent rule:

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

\frac{x ^{2}}{4} = (\frac{x}{2})^{2}

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

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

Simplify

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

= π erf (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= π erf (\frac{x}{2}) + C

\int - sin (x) 1 + cos (x) d x

\int x cos (\frac{x}{5}) d x

\int e^{9 x^{2}} d x

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

\int (5 csc^{2} (t) - 6 e^{t}) d t
