Integration by parts, Partial fraction expansion, Improper Integrals

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the integration techniques of integration by parts, partial fraction expansion, and evaluating improper integrals. Participants confirm that for the equation involving limits, the correct values are A=2, B=3, and C=-2. The limit of the function as x approaches infinity, specifically $\lim_{{x}\to{\infty}}(e^{-x})$, is established as 0, demonstrating the behavior of exponential decay. Additionally, the simplification of fractions is addressed, clarifying that 0.25 can be expressed as $\frac{1}{4}$.

  1. -
  2. check if right
  3. check if right
  4. Now, 2 seems to be the right answer for A yet when i made x=5 and subtracted new form form the old one I got a difference of ~$\frac{4}{9}$ (should be 0 obviously) I got A=2 B=$\frac{45}{21}$ C=2
  5. How to calculate $\lim_{{x}\to{\infty}}(- e^{-x})$

2. Correct
3. Yes, notice that it's an odd function $f(-x)=-f(x)$ so the "areas" cancel out.
4. Might want to check your math here a bit. The answer is correct ($A=2$), but $B=3$ and $C=-2$.
Also, $\lim_{{x}\to{\infty}}(e^{-x})=\lim_{{x}\to{\infty}}1/e^x=0$ since the denominator goes to infinity.
 
Since when is 0.25 a fraction in simplest form?
 
Prove It said:
Since when is 0.25 a fraction in simplest form?

so =$\frac{1}{4}$ ?
