I believe the questioner means e^(-x^2), which is perhaps the most famous of many functions which do not have anti-derivatives which can be expressed by elementary functions. The definite integral from minus infinity to plus infinity, however, is known: It is sqrt(pi).

The antiderivative to e^(-2x) is, (-*e^(-2x)/2)

Though the anti-derivative (integral) of many functions cannot be expressed in elementary forms, a variety of functions exist only as solutions to certain "unsolvable" integrals. the equation erf(x), also known as the error function, equals (2/sqrt(pi))*integral e(-t^2) dt from 0 to x. As mentioned before, this cannot be expressed through basic mathematical functions, but it can be expressed as an infinite series.

If the question is the antiderivative of e - x2, the answer is e*x - x3/3
