    Code Exponential

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the integration of the function \(\int \ell^{x^2} x^2 dx\), where \(\ell\) represents the exponential function. The initial approach incorrectly substitutes \(d(x^2)\) without accounting for the necessary differential, leading to an erroneous formulation. The correct method involves integrating by parts without substitution, ultimately simplifying to \(\frac{1}{2} \int x e^{x^2} d(x^2)\). This highlights the importance of proper differential handling in integration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integration techniques, specifically integration by parts.
  • Familiarity with exponential functions and their properties.
  • Knowledge of differential calculus, particularly the manipulation of differentials.
  • Basic algebraic manipulation skills to simplify expressions.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study integration by parts in detail, focusing on examples involving exponential functions.
  • Learn about the properties and applications of the exponential function in calculus.
  • Practice manipulating differentials in integration problems to avoid common pitfalls.
  • Explore advanced integration techniques, including substitution methods and their correct applications.
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those studying calculus, as well as educators seeking to clarify integration techniques involving exponential functions.

[tex]\int \ell^{x^2} x^2 dx[/tex]

[tex]= 1/2 \int \ell^{x^2} x^2 d(x^2)[/tex]
[tex]= 1/2 \int \ell^{t} . t dt[/tex] (Let x^2 = t )
[tex]= 1/2 [t.\ell^{t} - \int \ell^{t} dt][/tex]
[tex]= 1/2 [t.\ell^{t} - \ell^{t} + c ][/tex]
[tex]= 1/2 [x^2 \ell^{x^2} - \ell^{x^2} + c][/tex]

[tex]\ell[/tex] is actually exponential. I don't know the code for exponential. :)
What`s the problem with the above integration I have done?

Well you set [tex]t= x^2[/tex] but you don't have [tex]d(x^2)[/tex] in the original integral, just integrate by parts you don't really have to make a substitution.

The error lies in line #2, you are changing dx into d(x2), that requires an x, that'll left you with:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \int x e ^ {x ^ 2} d(x ^ 2)[/tex] not [tex]\frac{1}{2} \int x ^ 2 e ^ {x ^ 2} d(x ^ 2)[/tex]. Or you can do a little bit more slowly by letting t = x2. Just try it, and see if you can get to:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \int x e ^ {x ^ 2} d(x ^ 2)[/tex].
From here, you can do the same and end up with:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \int x e ^ {x ^ 2} d(x ^ 2) = \frac{1}{2} \int x d(e ^ {x ^ 2})[/tex].
From here, do you know what to do next?
