The Attempt at a Solution


I set up the intgral at
integral from 0 to 5 of integral from 0 to 5y of 8e^(y^2)dxdy

I solved it as an iterated integral so I solved the first part, then ended up with integral from 0 to 5 of 40ye^(y^2)

Am I going about it right? Isn't there no antideriative for e^(y^2)? I don't know where to go from here in solving this

Thanks everyone.

Yes, there's no elementary antiderivative for e^(y^2). There is one for y*e^(y^2). Use the substitution u=y^2.
 
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...
