Definition of an improper integral :
\(i)
\If is continuous on
and is discontinuous at
, then
if this limit exists (as a finite number).
(ii)
\If is continuous on
and is discontinuous at
, then
if this limit exists (as a finite number).
(a)
\The integral is .
The function is .
The given integral is improper because has the vertical asymptote at
.
Thus, the infinite discontinuity occurs at the left end point of .
(b)
\The integral is .
.
The above integral is improper because upper integration limit is infinite.
\This integral should be defined as a limit of proper integrals with finite integration range.
\(c)
\The integral is .
, where
is arbitary.
The above integral is improper because bith upper and lower integration limits are infinite.
\This integral should be defined as a limit of proper integrals with finite integration range.
\(d)
\The integral is .
The above integral is improper because the function is not continuous at point
.
Therefore, convergence should be analyzed in the sense of a limit of proper integrals.
\i.e, .
(a) Infinite discontinuity.
\(b) Infinite interval.
\(c) Infinite interval.
\(d) Infinite discontinuity.
