Use the chain rule to find
dy/dx =(2x)e^(x^2)
As for the chain rule, let
I = 1/2int e^udu
I = 1/2e^u + C
I = 1/2e^(x^2) + C
Alternatively we could have said
I = 1/2int (2x)e^(x^2)dx
I = 1/2e^(x^2) + C (because integration is the opposite of differentiation)
This is the same answer we got using the substitution.
Hopefully this helps!
