Error in the integration result
Show older comments
Given the joint p.d.f.:
I'm trying to compute the expected value:
by the following code:
syms x y
pi = sym('pi');
fxy = (1/pi)*exp(-((x-1)^2+2*y*(x-1)+2*y^2));
Exy = int(int(x*y*fxy,x,-inf,inf),y,-inf,inf)
However, I got the following solution

I started to wonder if this function is not integrable in the first place. However, the answer was no. I computed the same integral by Wolfram Alpha (no offense...) and got the following result:

Am I doing something wrong in my code? Do you have any idea how to obtian the same result in MATLAB? I appreciate your help.
