I'm asked to transform the improper integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-x^4}dx$$ into a proper integral.


What I tried:

Substituting $x = \tan(x)$ and $\frac{dx}{ds} = \sec^2(s)$

The integral becomes $$\int_{0}^{+ \frac{\pi}{2}} e^{- \tan^4(s)} \sec^2{(s)} ds$$

Is that correct ? Is there a way to go further ?

  • @user159888 Uh sorry, didn't see that. Will my question get closed as duplicate ? Is there anything I can do aside of deleting the question ? I still hope it could add value to the site. –  Apr 12 '20 at 10:25
