How can i find the integral of [tex]\int e^{-x^{3}}dx[/tex]
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.

Integration by parts is a technique used in calculus to find the integral of a product of two functions, where one function is differentiated and the other is integrated. It is based on the product rule of differentiation and can be used to simplify complex integrals.
Integration by parts is useful when you have an integral with a product of two functions that cannot be easily integrated using other techniques, such as substitution or the power rule. It can also be used to find integrals involving trigonometric functions and logarithmic functions.
The key to choosing the correct functions for integration by parts is to use the acronym "LIATE". This stands for logarithmic, inverse trigonometric, algebraic, trigonometric, and exponential functions. When integrating a product of two functions, always choose the first function to be the one that appears first in the acronym and the second function to be the one that appears last.
Yes, integration by parts can be used to solve definite integrals. After applying the integration by parts formula, you can then evaluate the integral using the limits of integration.
One common mistake when using integration by parts is to forget to apply the formula more than once. This may be necessary when the integral produced by the first application is not any simpler than the original integral. Another mistake is to choose the wrong functions for integration by parts, such as choosing two algebraic functions or two exponential functions, which will not simplify the integral.
