Char. Limit Gold Member Messages 1,222 Reaction score 23 Dec 19, 2010 #2 How odd. The answer actually depends on the values of x... try a couple of values of x and you'll see what I mean. Might I recommend .75 and 2?

Char. Limit Gold Member Messages 1,222 Reaction score 23 Dec 19, 2010 #4 Either there's a typo or you misread it. It should be as [tex]x\to\infty[/tex]. Then it makes sense, especially since you're integrating over dx, not over dn.
