The integral is .
Definition of an improper integral :
\If exists for every number
, then
provoded this limit exists (as a finite number).
Consider .
is continuous on the interval
and it is not continuous at
, then
.
Here we need to use a right hand limit, since the interval of integration is entirely on the right side of the lower limit.
\Therefore, .
Since (finite value), the integral is convergent.
The integral is convergent and the value is .
