Find constants that satisfy integrals?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding constants that satisfy the integrals ∫y1(x)^2dx from -∞ to +∞ = 1 and ∫y2(x)^2dx from -∞ to +∞ = 1. Participants noted that the constants c1 and c2, derived from evaluating these integrals, were found to be equal, which raised questions about the validity of this conclusion. Clarification was requested regarding the constants in question, as both integrals are definite and do not involve a constant of integration.

Homework Statement


∫y1(x)^2dx from - to + infinity=1 and ∫y2(x)^2dx from - to + infinity=1

Homework Equations


None that I know of.

The Attempt at a Solution


I evaluated the integrals and got that c1 is equal to c2 but I think that's wrong.

Can you please show your detailed work? It's hard to understand the question. And you are required to show your work on schoolwork questions. Thanks.

Your problem statement is very sketchy. What constants are you talking about? Both integrals appear to be definite integrals, so the constant of integration isn't relevant in either one.
