Math Problem Statement

Calcola la seconda curva

Solution

To help you with the integral presented in the image, I'll first need to transcribe it and then solve the second integral for you. Let's start by identifying the expression.

Given integrals:

  1. 0101ex2y2dydx\int_0^1 \int_0^1 e^{-x^2 - y^2} \, dy \, dx
  2. 2π0er2rdr=π2\pi \int_0^\infty e^{-r^2} r \, dr = \pi

Since you are asking for the solution to the second integral, I'll focus on that.

Solving the Second Integral

The second integral is given as: 0er2rdr\int_0^\infty e^{-r^2} r \, dr

To solve this, we'll use a standard trick involving polar coordinates and recognizing the Gaussian integral.

  1. Convert the integral to a known form:

    This integral can be recognized as part of the Gaussian integral when transformed into polar coordinates. Let's compute the area of the entire Gaussian integral:

    I=ex2dxey2dy=(ex2dx)2I = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx \cdot \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-y^2} dy = \left( \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx \right)^2

    This is known to be equal to π\sqrt{\pi} when evaluated over the entire real line.

  2. Use polar coordinates:

    In polar coordinates, x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2 and the differential area element dxdydx\,dy becomes rdrdθr \, dr \, d\theta. Thus:

    I=02πdθ0er2rdrI = \int_0^{2\pi} d\theta \int_0^\infty e^{-r^2} r \, dr

    This splits into: I=2π0er2rdrI = 2\pi \int_0^\infty e^{-r^2} r \, dr

  3. Solve the radial part:

    The integral 0er2rdr\int_0^\infty e^{-r^2} r \, dr is a standard Gaussian integral, which evaluates to:

    0er2rdr=12\int_0^\infty e^{-r^2} r \, dr = \frac{1}{2}

  4. Final result:

    2π×12=π2\pi \times \frac{1}{2} = \pi

So the final answer is indeed π\pi, as indicated in the image.
