this step is required to transform the integral into a form
that works with integration by parts
1) Set
y x =
square both sides
y
2
x =
differentiate
2ydy dx =
2) Now go into the integral, and make replacements.
replace
x
with y
replace dx with 2ydy
3) y e

4) Now integrate by using integration by parts
u y = dv e
