Answer

The statement is False.

Work Step by Step

The statement is False since this integral $$ \int x^{3}e^{-x^{2}}dx $$ Apply the method of integration by parts only one time to determine the given integration: Let $u=x^{2}$ and $dv =xe^{-x^{2}}dx$, so that: $$ \begin{aligned} \int x^{3}e^{-x^{2}}dx &= \int x^{2}. xe^{-x^{2}}dx\\ &= -\frac{1}{2} \int x^{2}. (-2xe^{-x^{2}}dx)\\ &= -\frac{1}{2} \int x^{2}. d(e^{-x^{2}})\\ &\quad \left[\begin{array}{c}{u=x^{2}, \quad\quad dv= -2xe^{-x^{2}}dx} \\ {d u= 2xdx , \quad\quad v=e^{-x^{2}} }\end{array}\right] , \text { then }\\ &= -\frac{1}{2} [x^{2} e^{-x^{2}} -2\int x. e^{-x^{2}}dx]\\ &= -\frac{1}{2} [x^{2} e^{-x^{2}} +e^{-x^{2}}].\\ \end{aligned} $$ Therefore, the statement is False.
