Hello, I need help with an integral :) \[\int\limits_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}x~e ^{-(x^2/2)}dx\]

let u = -(x^2/2) ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

ok then du = -x dx ?

geerky42 (geerky42):

yeah, then you ahve \(-du = x~dx\) So you have \(\displaystyle-\int e^u ~du\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

have*

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

ok then I'll get - e^(-x^2/2) from 0 to sqrt2 ?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yeah

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

oooooooooo I see what I did wrong before! thank you! :)

geerky42 (geerky42):
