Let I = 0 e 2 y 3 e e y 2 d y \large \int_{0}^{\infty}{e^2y^3e^{-ey^2}dy}

= 0 e 2 e y 2 y 3 d y \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{2-ey^2} y^3 dy

Now let 2 e y 2 = u 2 - ey^2 = -u

2 e y d y = d u 2ey dy= du

y 2 = u + 2 e y^2 = \frac{u+2}{e}

So the Inegral is equal to : = 0 e 2 e y 2 y 2 2 e 2 e y d y = \int_{0}^{\infty}{e^{2-ey^2}y^2 \frac{2e}{2e}ydy} = 0 e u u + 2 2 e 2 d u = \int_{0}^{\infty}{e^{-u}\frac{u+2}{2e^2}du} [ Since y 2 = u + 2 e y^2 = \frac{u+2}{e} ]

= 0 e ( u + 2 ) u + 2 2 d u = \int_{0}^{\infty}{e^{-(u+2)}\frac{u+2}{2}du}

= 1 2 0 e ( u + 2 ) ( u + 2 ) 2 1 d ( u + 2 ) = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\infty}{e^{-(u+2)}(u+2)^{2-1}d(u+2)}

= 1 2 Γ ( 2 ) = \frac{1}{2}\Gamma(2)

= 1 2 = \frac{1}{2} [Since Γ ( 2 ) = 1 \Gamma(2) = 1 ]

= 0.5 =\large 0.5

Moderator note:

The substitution u = e y 2 u = ey^2 would be more natural, and simplifies the working.

I = 0 e 2 y 3 e e y 2 d y Let x = e y 2 d x = 2 e y d y = 0 e 2 y 3 e x 2 e y d x = 1 2 0 e y 2 e x d x = 1 2 0 x e x d x = Γ ( 2 ) 2 = 1 ! 2 = 0.5 \begin{aligned} I & = \int_0^\infty e^2y^3e^{-ey^2} dy \quad \quad \small \color{#3D99F6}{\text{Let }x=ey^2 \space \Rightarrow dx = 2ey\space dy} \\ & = \int_0^\infty \frac{e^2y^3e^{-x}}{2ey} dx \\ & = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^\infty ey^2e^{-x} dx \\ & = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^\infty xe^{-x} dx \\ & = \frac{\Gamma(2)}{2} = \frac{1!}{2} = \boxed{0.5} \end{aligned}

Same solution!!
