calculus - Evaluating intiinftynfty1efrac1x2rmdx



I am interested in the improper integral: I=1e1x2dx=201e1x2dx

which I am fairly sure converges.




I broke the integral into one over 1 and one over the exponential and then tried to evaluate this through a change to polar coordinates similar to the way to evaluate the Gaussian Integral.



However, when I attempt to introduce the variable change 1x=u to apply the polar coordinates, I am left with the bounds being limϵ0[ϵ,ϵ]. I am not sure of how to convert these bounds into polar form in terms of r and θ. If anyone can give me a hint of where to continue, what I am doing wrong, or if there is a better way of evaluating this integral it would be greatly appreciated.


Answer



As I said I would, I'll add my two cents (it's more or less self-explanatory, I hope):
0(1e1/x2)dx=01ex2x2dx=010eax2dadx=100eax2dxda=10π2ada=π
