Compute the series

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You stuck where?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im stuck at the beginning.. i think know how to integrate but how to decide on its limit on the integrals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

limits would go form \(0\) to \(n\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or maybe \(1\) to \(n\). It could help to draw it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?} 2x e ^{-x^2}dx\] how do u decide on that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sum says starting from n=1 to infinity right? so from 1 to infinity? im kinda lost ):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, you are finding an approximation, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the partial sum....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you are adding up to the \(n\)th term. And that means that your limits should go to \(n\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh im so confused ): so what do u propose to do? integrate from 1 to n, then?
