 0 ( 4x2 - 2) 2 ℮ 2 x dx

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the parser work for latex, not html

OpenStudy (amistre64):

``` <html> <what?> </html> ```

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually its an integral ,i copy pasted it from word

OpenStudy (amistre64):

looks like you are trying to integrate (4x^2-2)^2 , from 2 to 0

OpenStudy (amistre64):

might wanna copy and paste it into notepad first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is an also exp(-x^2) with limits o to infinity

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the latex for this would be close to: ``` \[\int_{2}^{0}(4x^2-2)^2~dx\] ```

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int_{2}^{0}(4x^2-2)^2~dx\] but im not to sure where to put the exp() stuff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in multiplication and 0 is lower and infinity is upper limit

OpenStudy (amistre64):

``` \[\int_{0}^{\infty}(4x^2-2)^2~exp(-x^2)~dx\] ``` \[\int_{0}^{\infty}(4x^2-2)^2~exp(-x^2)~dx\] like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats right !! thanks a loti am sorry i dont use latex and i m not familiar but i am thankful to u for helping.i also need help to solve it lol...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

my first thought is by parts, that poly will go to zero after a few turns, and we can always integrate the exp which is just another notation for e^(-x^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is an improper integral and may be somr trick is involved .may be something related to complex integration ..may be jordan lemma but i am not able to do it...;(

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\begin{matrix} &&e^{-x^2}\\ +&(4x^2-2)^2&-2xe^{-x^2}\\ -&2(4x^2-2)(8x)&4x^2e^{-x^2}+-2e^{-x^2}\\ +&16(4x^2-2)+16x(8x)&gets~messier\\ -&192x^2-32&"\\ +&192(2)x&"\\ -&19(2)&"\\ &0&--\\ \end{matrix}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah, im not to useful with complex or jordan lemma stuff. not enough practice or exposure to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its answer is not zero i also dont know the answer but its between the 4 choices 4pi,8 sqrt pi , 4 sqrt pi , 8 pi.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if anything, we could expand the poly out, and run it out in pieces

OpenStudy (amistre64):

do you know what the trig equivalent of e^-x^2 would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i knw exp(iq)=cosq+i sinq so something similar to that may be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it will involve sinh and cosh yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the hs look more righter to me

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if it helps to double check to make sure youre on the right track; the answer should be 4 sqrt(pi) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integrate+%284x%5E2-2%29%5E2+e%5E%28-x%5E2%29+dx+from+0+to+inf

did u use mathematica for it ?
