I was given the following task but I don't know how to keep going.
The task is:




Integrate $int_D 2e^{-x^2}$ with $D = lbrace (x,y) in Bbb{R}^2 |
> 0le x le 1, 0 le y le x rbrace$




I started with the following integral:



$$int_0^1 int_0^x 2cdot e^{-x^2}dy;dx$$
$$=int_0^1 left[2cdot e^{-x^2} right]_0^xdx$$
$$=int_0^1 xcdot2cdot e^{-x^2}dx$$



I am stuck at evaluating this integral.
I assumed that $erf(x)$ will appear.



The thing is that my university published the solution:



$$int_D 2e^{-x^2} = 1 - dfrac{1}{e}$$



I would be very happy if someone could explain to me, what I did wrong.



Greetings,
Finn

          In $I=int 2xe^{x^2}dx$,
          let $y=x^2$.



          Then $dy = 2xdx$ so
          $I=int e^ydy$.
