The integral you provided is:

$I = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x^5 e^{-x^6} \, dx$

To solve this, observe that the integrand is an odd function. Specifically, the factor $x^5$ is odd (since $x^5 = -(-x)^5$) and the factor $e^{-x^6}$ is even (since $e^{-x^6} = e^{-(-x)^6}$).

Thus, the product $x^5 e^{-x^6}$ is an odd function because multiplying an odd function and an even function results in an odd function.

The integral of an odd function over a symmetric interval $(-\infty, \infty)$ is zero. Therefore:

$I = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x^5 e^{-x^6} \, dx = 0$

Would you like a deeper explanation of why odd functions lead to this result? Or do you have another integral or topic in mind?
