You need to include an attempt at solving the problem, before anyone can help you.

What is the Taylor series for ex ?

What is the integrand? Is e^x^2 supposed to be ##(e^x)^2##, or is it ##e^{x^2}?## If you mean the first one, what you have written is correct (but it would still be better to use parentheses and write (e^x)^2); if you mean the second one it is essential to use parentheses, like this: e^(x^2).
