How to find this integral?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} x^3 * e^{-4x^2} dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried IBP but the integral seemed to get more complex.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only did Integration By Parts once.

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

\[u=-4x^2\\du=-8xdx \rightarrow xdx=\frac{ -1 }{ 8 }du\\x^3e^{-4x^2}dx=x^2*e^{-4x^2}(xdx)=\frac{-1}{4}u*e^u*(\frac{ -1 }{ 8 }du)=\\\frac{1}{32}ue^udu\] now do , integration by part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another easy way, everytime you have an algebraic expression (like \[x^{n}\] times something

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

\[\int\limits\frac{ 1 }{ 32 }ue^udu=\frac{ 1 }{ 32 }\int\limits ue^udu=\\\]

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

can you go on , from there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, thank you! So you have to put everything in terms of u and make the equation easier to simplify... :)
