[tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx[/tex]
Step 2: Integrate Pt. 1
- [Integral] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{e^{-x^2}}{x} \, dx[/tex]
- [Integral] Rewrite [Improper Integral]: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \lim_{a \to 0^+} \int\limits^1_a {\frac{e^{-x^2}}{x} \, dx[/tex]
Step 3: Integrate Pt. 2
Identify variables for u-substitution.
- Set: [tex]\displaystyle u = -x^2[/tex]
- Differentiate [Basic Power Rule]: [tex]\displaystyle \frac{du}{dx} = -2x[/tex]
- [Derivative] Rewrite: [tex]\displaystyle du = -2x \ dx[/tex]
Rewrite u-substitution to format u-solve.
- Rewrite du: [tex]\displaystyle dx = \frac{-1}{2x} \ dx[/tex]
Step 4: Integrate Pt. 3
- [Integral] Rewrite [Integration Property - Multiplied Constant]: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \lim_{a \to 0^+} -\int\limits^1_a {-\frac{e^{-x^2}}{x} \, dx[/tex]
- [Integral] Substitute in variables: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \lim_{a \to 0^+} -\int\limits^1_a {\frac{e^{u}}{-2u} \, du[/tex]
- [Integral] Rewrite [Integration Property - Multiplied Constant]: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \lim_{a \to 0^+} \frac{1}{2}\int\limits^1_a {\frac{e^{u}}{u} \, du[/tex]
- [Integral] Substitute [Exponential Integral Function]: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \lim_{a \to 0^+} \frac{1}{2}[Ei(u)] \bigg| \limits^1_a[/tex]
- Back-Substitute: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \lim_{a \to 0^+} \frac{1}{2}[Ei(-x^2)] \bigg| \limits^1_a[/tex]
- Evaluate [Integration Rule - FTC 1]: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \lim_{a \to 0^+} \frac{1}{2}[Ei(-1) - Ei(a)][/tex]
- Simplify: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \lim_{a \to 0^+} \frac{Ei(-1) - Ei(a)}{2}[/tex]
- Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]: [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx = \infty[/tex]
∴ [tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{1}{xe^{x^2}} \, dx[/tex] diverges.
