You probably meant
y=e^(-x^2)
look at the graph
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y%3De%5E(-x%5E2)
the maximum ordinate is y = 1
however, the function never reaches the x-axis, so there is a "gap".
Unless you left out some vertical boundaries, the question is bogus.

maybe not bogus, but not elementary either:
