How change the order and integrate this function $e^{x^{2}}$

integrationmultivariable-calculus

I need to change the order of integration and evaluate the following:

$\int_{0}^{1} \int_{\sqrt{y}}^{1} e^{x^2}dxdy$

$x=\sqrt{y}, x=1$

Would this work: $\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{x^2} e^{x^3}dydx$ ?

The original domain is $0 \le y \le 1, \sqrt{y} \le x \le 1$

It is equivalent to $0 \le x \le 1, 0 \le y \le x^2$.

Hence the part about changing the variable is correct, however, note that the function that you are integrating should remain the same.

\begin{align} \int_0^1 x^2 \exp(x^2) \, dx &= \int_0^1 \frac{x}2 (2x) \exp(x^2) \, dx \\ &= \frac{x}2 \exp(x^2) |_0^1 - \int_0^1 \frac12 \exp(x^2) \, dx \\ &= \frac{e}2 - \frac12 \int_0^1 \exp(x^2) \, dx \\ &= \frac{e}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}erfi(1) \end{align}
