Integral of exp of a quadratic factor: ![]()
If the correct factors are present, this can be handled by the integral of the exponential function:
, where
;
. Hence a combination of factors in the original problem can be replaced: ![]()
With this substitution, we get ![]()
Finally, we substitute for u to get the result in terms of x:
![]()
Notice that the exponent of the resulting function is the same as that in the original problem.
