integral of e^{-1/2 x^2}

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

\frac{π}{2} erf (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

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

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} x^{2} : - \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

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

= \frac{π}{2} erf (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{π}{2} erf (\frac{x}{2}) + C

y^{^{''}} + 2 y + y = 2 e^{- t}

\frac{x}{x - 2}

\int_{2}^{5} x^{4} ln (2 x) d x

\int_{0}^{18} t^{2} + 2 t + 1 d t

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (3 y - e^{s i n (x)})
