General feature of Newton Integral

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the properties of the Newton integral, specifically regarding the boundedness of a continuous function f: [0, +∞) → R when the finite Newton integral exists. The participants clarify that the Newton integral is defined as the difference between the values of a primitive function F at the bounds, F(b) - F(a), and that it is essential to prove the boundedness of f solely from this definition. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between the Newton integral and the Riemann integral, which is based on area under the curve.

Hi,

I need a help with responding one question from my calculus classes...

Lef f: [0, + infin.) ---> R be a continuous function and let exist the finite Newton integral of f(x) dx from 0 to +infinity. It´s neccesary that f is bounded?

Thanks for any help. :wink:

I'm not sure what you mean by "the finite Newton integral". Do you mean to assert that the Riemann integral is finite?
 
By Newton Integral I mean the integral of f(x) dx from a to b defined as follows, let F be a primtive function to f then the discussed integral is equal to F(b) - F(a) or [lim (x --> b-) F(x) - lim (x --> a+) F(x)] and the Riemanns definition of integral is based on the areas in the graph. So the task demands to proof it only from the Newton's definition.
