double integral of e^(-x^2 - y^2) dA; 1<=r<=infinity; 0<=theta<=pi
\[\int\limits\limits_{0}^{\pi}\int\limits\limits_{1}^{\infty} e^{-x^2 -y^2} dxd \theta\]
this is weird.... do you mean \(\int_{-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2-y^2}dxdy=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^\infty e^{-r^2}r*drd\theta\)
\[\int\limits_{0}^{2\pi}\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}re^{-r^2}drd\theta\]
use u substation on r^2
It IS weird! I wasn't sure if the substitution would be negative. It makes sense, though.
I am saying its weird because you have r and things that look polar and things that done. I think maybe you are trying to solve \(\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2}dx\)?
done=don't*
the way you have it wrote, we are to treat y as a constant.
It's supposed to be polar. Trying to solve what zarkon posted
\(\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^\infty e^{-r^2}r*drd\theta\) let \(u=r^2\), then \(du=2r dr\), so \(dr=\frac{du}{2r}\) So we have \(\int_0^{2\pi}\frac{1}{2}\int_0^\infty e^{-u}r*\frac{du}{r}d\theta \) = \(\int_0^{2\pi}\frac{1}{2}\int_0^\infty e^{-u}*dud\theta\) Can you solve now?
\[\int\limits\limits_{0}^{2\pi}\left(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\left( -e^-u \right) :o \rightarrow \infty = -e^{-\infty} +1 = 1)\right) d \theta\] \[\int\limits_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }d \theta = \frac{ \theta }{ 2 } : 0 \rightarrow 2\pi = \frac{ 2\pi }{ 2 } = \pi\]
Look right?
yes
thus \(\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2}dx = \sqrt{\pi}\)
The answer it wanted was \[\frac{ \pi }{ 2e }...\]
that would be a weird answer the integral i wrote above has a value of \(\pi\)
