Homework Statement


How can i find the integral of \int e^{-x^{3}}dx


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I tried using integration by parts, but it doesn't seem to give a nice way to solve either.

I do not believe this integral exists in terms of elementary functions. Is it part of a question? If so, post the question.
 


Sketch the domain of integration of the integral \int^{1}_{0}dy\int^{1}_{\sqrt{y}} e^{-x^{3}}dx and then evaluate it.

Are you answering you own question? If so, that's nonsense.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
