integral from 0 to infinity of e^{-αx^2}

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- α x^{2}} d x

\frac{π - π erf ( 0 \cdot α )}{2 α}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- α x^{2}} d x

Compute the indefinite integral:

\int e^{- α x^{2}} d x = \frac{π}{2 α} erf (α x) + C

Compute the boundaries:

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- α x^{2}} d x = \frac{π}{2 α} - \frac{π}{2 α} erf (α \cdot 0)

= \frac{π}{2 α} - \frac{π}{2 α} erf (α \cdot 0)

Simplify

= \frac{π - π erf ( 0 \cdot α )}{2 α}
