I feel embarassed for asking, but is there a fast way to calculate this without using integration by parts?

\int 2e^(-2x)x^-1dx, 0 <= x < infinity

There's supposed to be some kind of trick, right?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
<br /> \int_0^\infty\frac{2e^{-2x}}{x}\,dx=\infty.<br />
 
Sorry but how is this related to PDFs?
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
