Improper Integral:

OpenStudy (kl0723):

\[\int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty}x^5e ^{-x ^{6}}dx\]

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

Try checking to see you integrand has this property for an easy result: \(f(-x)=-f(x)\) ;)

OpenStudy (kl0723):

I have no idea how to do it :/

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

Recall that if \(f\) is an odd function, then \(f(-x)=-f(x)\) And for odd functions, you have that \[ \int_{-a}^af(x)\,dx=0\] for \(a>0\)

OpenStudy (kl0723):

makes sense now ;) thanks
