What is the integral from 0 to 1 of xe^{-(x^2)/2} ?

The integral from 0 to 1 of xe^{-(x^2)/2} is 1-1/(sqrt(e))

integral from 0 to 1 of xe^{-(x^2)/2}

\int_{0}^{1} x e^{- \frac{x ^{2}}{2}} d x

1 - \frac{1}{e}

Decimal

0.39346 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} x e^{- \frac{x ^{2}}{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{0}^{- \frac{1}{2}} - e^{u} d u

\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = - \int_{b}^{a} f (x) d x, a < b

= - \int_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0} - e^{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - (- \int_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0} e^{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

= - (- [e^{u}]_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0})

Simplify

= [e^{u}]_{- \frac{1}{2}}^{0}

Compute the boundaries:

1 - \frac{1}{e}

= 1 - \frac{1}{e}

\int_{0}^{x} sin (x^{2}) d x

\int_{0}^{2} x^{2} (x^{3} + 1) d x

\int_{\frac{π}{2}}^{0} cos (x) d x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x ( 1 + x ^{4} )} d x

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 4 cos^{4} (x) d x
