Accepted Solution

A:
To find the indefinite integral of ∫ 10𝑧𝑒^βˆ’π‘§^2𝑑𝑧 using u-substitution, we can let u = -z^2. Let's go through the steps: Let u = -z^2. Differentiating both sides with respect to z, we get du = -2z dz, which implies dz = -(1/2z) du. Substitute u and dz in terms of du in the integral: ∫ 10𝑧𝑒^βˆ’π‘§^2𝑑𝑧 = ∫ 10z e^u dz = ∫ 10z e^u (-1/2z) du. Simplify the expression: The z in the numerator and denominator cancel out, leaving us with: ∫ -5e^u du. Integrate with respect to u: ∫ -5e^u du = -5 ∫ e^u du = -5e^u + C, where C is the constant of integration. Substitute back u = -z^2: -5e^u + C = -5e^-z^2 + C. Therefore, the indefinite integral of ∫ 10𝑧𝑒^βˆ’π‘§^2𝑑𝑧 is -5e^-z^2 + C.
