Quantum Physics: Gaussian Wave Packets

In summary, the conversation is about a problem sheet and the solutions to two questions, 17 and 18. The focus is on showing that the probability density function is conserved and the integral of the wavefunction is equal to 1 for all t. The person working on the problem is not getting 1 and is asking for help. The solution is to plug in the expressions for r and θ to get the desired result.

2. The attempt at a solution
I have already solved 17.
Here is my solution to 17:

Now I am working on 18.
I am trying to show that the probability density function is conserved. I.e the integral of the absolute value of the wavefunction in position space squared is equal to 1 for all t.
But somehow I am not getting 1.
Here is what I have so far:

You just have to plug your expressions for r and θ back in your result and you will get 1.
