u=−x^2 du=−2xdx⇒xdx=−(du/2) x=0,u=0 x=ε,u=−ε^2 ∫_0 ^∞ xe^(−x^2 ) dx=lim_(ε→∞) ∫_0 ^ε xe^(−x^2 ) dx =lim_(ε→∞) −(1/2)∫_0 ^(−ε^2 ) e^u du =lim_(ε→∞) (1/2)∫_(−ε^2 ) ^0 e^u du =lim_(ε→∞) ((1−e^(−ε^2 ) )/2) =(1/2)

$${u}=−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $${du}=−\mathrm{2}{xdx}\Rightarrow{xdx}=−\frac{{du}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $${x}=\mathrm{0},{u}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $${x}=\epsilon,{u}=−\epsilon^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $$\underset{\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\int}}{xe}^{−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } {dx}=\underset{\epsilon\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\underset{\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\epsilon} {\int}}{xe}^{−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } {dx} \\ $$ $$=\underset{\epsilon\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\underset{\mathrm{0}} {\overset{−\epsilon^{\mathrm{2}} } {\int}}{e}^{{u}} {du} \\ $$ $$=\underset{\epsilon\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\underset{−\epsilon^{\mathrm{2}} } {\overset{\mathrm{0}} {\int}}{e}^{{u}} {du} \\ $$ $$=\underset{\epsilon\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{1}−{e}^{−\epsilon^{\mathrm{2}} } }{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $$=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
