Moment Generating Function of Gaussian Distribution/Examples/First Moment

Examples of Use of Moment Generating Function of Gaussian Distribution
Let $X \sim N \paren {\mu, \sigma^2}$ for some $\mu \in \R, \sigma \in \R_{> 0}$, where $N$ is the Gaussian distribution.

The first moment generating function of $X$ is given by:


 * $\map { {M_X}'} t = \paren {\mu + \sigma^2 t} \map \exp {\mu t + \dfrac 1 2 \sigma^2 t^2}$

Proof
We have:
