To evaluate ∫∞0xe−(x−a)2bdx, I have applied the substitution u=(x−a)2b, x−a=(ub)1/2, and dudx=2(x−a)b. I would first like to ask if x−a should actually equal ±(ub)1/2 (i.e., is it valid to ignore the minus sign, and why?). Applying this substitution,
I=∫∞0xe−(x−a)2bdx=∫∞0xe−ubdu2(x−a)=∫∞a2b((ub)1/2+a)⋅e−ubdu2(ub)1/2=b2∫∞a2be−udu+ab−1/2e−uu−1/2du=b2∫∞a2be−udu+a√b2∫∞a2be−uu−1/2du,
I find that I am unable to evaluate the second term because the domain is from a non-zero constant to +∞. Were the domain [0,+∞), the second integral would simply be a Γ function. Seeing that the substitution I have attempted has not worked, could someone please propose an alternate route to evaluating this definite integral? Thank you.
