1. Is it true that the improper integral
� ∞
a f(x) converges, whenever f(x) → 0. Prove or
give a counterexample.
This is NOT true. For example consider
� ∞
1
1
x dx.
We know from the p-integral test that this integral diverges (case p = 1).
Yet,
limx→∞ 1/x = 0.
2. Evaluate the following integrals:
Both integrals are improper of Type I. In both cases, we can explicitly compute the
answer.
•
� ∞
e
1
x(ln x+3)2 dx
We need to compute
lim
b→∞
� b
e
1
x(ln x + 3)2 dx.
We first evaluate the integral by substitution by letting u = ln x, du
dx = 1/x, to get
(up to a constant)
�
du
(u + 3)2 = −(u + 3)−2+1 = −(ln x + 3)−1
We now compute the limit:
lim
b→∞
�
− (ln x + 3)−1�b
e = 0 + 1/4 = 1/4
•
� ∞
0
√
tan−1(x)
1+x2
dx
We need to compute
lim
b→∞
� b
0
�
tan−1(x)
1 + x2
dx.
We evaluate this integral by substitution. Let u = tan−1 x, then du =
1
1+x2dx,
obtaining (up to a constant):
� �
tan−1(x)
1 + x2
dx =
�
u1/2du = (2/3)u3/2 = (2/3)(tan−1 x)2/3.
We can now take the limit
lim
b→∞
�
(2/3)(tan−1 x)2/3�b
0 = (2/3 lim
b→∞[(tan−1 b)3/2−(tan−1 0)3/2] = (2/3)
�
(π
2 )3/2−0
�
1
3. Determine whether the following integrals diverge or converge:
•
� ∞
1
x
(x3+2)2dx
We first observe that this integral is roughly like ∼
�
x
x6 dx =
�
1
x5 dx.
This suggests to us that we can use the limit comparison test (LCT) with
g(x) =
1
x5 (remember that f(x) =
x
(x3+2)2).
lim
x→∞
f(x)
g(x) = lim
x→∞
x6
(x3 + 2)2 = 1,
using l’Hopital’s rule.
So the corresponding integrals behave the same. But we know by the p-integral
test that
� ∞
1
1
x5 dx converges. So the original integral converges.
•
� −3
−∞
1
x3 dx
We first observe that since the integrand is an odd function, we can write
� −3
−∞
1
x3 dx = −
� ∞
3
1
x3 dx.
We know that
� ∞
3
1
x3 dx converges being a p− integral with p = 3. So the original
integral converges.
•
� ∞
−∞
x
ex+e−x dx
Since the integrand is odd, it is enough to analyze
� ∞
0
x
ex+e−x dx.
We can do LCT with g(x) =
x
ex, and conclude that the integrals behave a like.
So let us now look at
� ∞
0
x
ex dx. One way would be to do DCT with
� ∞
0 e−x/2 dx
and conclude it is convergent so
� ∞
0
x
ex+e−x dx converges to a finite limit L > 0.
This means that
� 0
−∞
x
ex+e−x dx converges to −L, which means that the original
integral goes to 0.
•
� ∞
2
1
√x ln x dx
We first note that for all x > 0, ln x < √x. Using this fact, we see that
� ∞
2
1
√x ln x dx ≥
� ∞
2
1
√x√x dx =
� ∞
2
1
x dx.
So the original integral diverges by the direct comparison test and the fact that
� ∞
2
1
x dx is a divergent p− integral (p = 1).
•
� ∞
1
x−ex
x2 dx.
We first observe that since the numerator is dominated by the exponential, we
2
suspect this integral to diverge. We can prove so by using the limit comparison
test and comparing the integral with
� ex
x2. But before doing that, we need to
insure that the integrand is positive (to be able to use the limit comparison test).
We first rewrite
� ∞
1
x − ex
x2
dx = −
� ∞
1
ex − x
x2
dx.
and work with
� ∞
1
ex − x
x2
dx.
Now let g(x) = ex
x2 and f(x) = ex−x
x2 . We compute
lim
x→∞
f(x)
g(x) = lim
x→∞
ex − x
ex
= 1.
So the integrals of f and g behave alike. Then we see that
� ∞
1
ex
x2 dx
diverges because the integrand tends to infinity as x → ∞. So we conclude that
the original integral diverges.
• This is an integral of mixed type, so we split it as
� 1
0
1
x2 dx +
� ∞
1
1
x2 dx.
The second is a convergent p-integral. As for the first one, we integrate it explicitly
and evaluate the limit
lim
b→0
� 1
b
x−2 dx = lim
b→0 −x−1��1
b = ∞.
We conclude that the original integral diverges.
