∫[2,3]e^(x^2) dx ; u substitution?

What could be the u substitution to solve this definite integral? (I assume I need to use u substitution nescessary?)

You can't. The function e^(x^2) is not elementary and it's anti derivative cannot be evaluated analytically. You'll have to resort to numerical methods such as Simpson's Rule to find the area under the curve.
