Homework Statement
For what values of K is the following integral improper?
[tex]\int\stackrel{K}{0}x^2 / (x^2-19x+90) dx[/tex]I'm stuck on this question. I understand mechanically, that the integration require partial fraction decomp, which results in -9ln(x-9) (from 0 to K) + 10ln(x-10) (from 0 to K). What I don't understand is what makes this integral improper. I understand that LN is undefined for all evaluations < 1. So does this mean that any K < 10 will create an improper integral?
EDIT: How does one properly display the upper and lower limits on the integration symbol?
