An important function in statistics is the Gaussian (or normal distribution, or bell-shaped curve), \(f(x)=e^{-a x^{2}}.\) a. Graph the Gaussian for \(a=0.5,1,\) and 2. b. Given that \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-a x^{2}} d x=\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a}},\) compute the area under the curves in part (a). c. Complete the square to evaluate \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-\left(a x^{2}+b x+c\right)} d x,\) where \(a>0, b,\) and \(c\) are real numbers.
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \frac{3 x^{2}+4 x-6}{x^{2}-3 x+2} d x$$
Graph the integrands and then evaluate and compare the values of \(\int_{0}^{\infty} x e^{-x^{2}} d x\) and \(\int_{0}^{\infty} x^{2} e^{-x^{2}} d x.\)
Prove the following orthogonality relations (which are used to generate Fourier series). Assume \(m\) and \(n\) are integers with \(m \neq n\) a. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin m x \sin n x d x=0\) b. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos m x \cos n x d x=0\) c. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin m x \cos n x d x=0\)
Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{1+\sqrt{x}}} ; x=\left(u^{2}-1\right)^{2}$$
