The problem can be rewritten as:

0 1 ( x 1 / 2 x 1 / 6 x 1 / 24 . . . ) d x \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x^{1/2}x^{1/6}x^{1/24}...)dx

= 0 1 ( x 1 / 2 + 1 / 6 + 1 / 24 + . . . ) d x \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x^{1/2+1/6+1/24+...})dx

We then know that e = 1 + 1 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 6 + 1 / 24 + . . . e = 1 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/24 + ... , therefore we have

0 1 ( x e 2 ) d x \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x^{e-2})dx

= ( x e 1 ) / ( e 1 ) = (x^{e-1})/(e-1)

And we get our answer of 1 e 1 \frac{1}{e-1} , or 0.5819
