I have 48 hours and i am bad, i am sorry but i want to understand how it is

The discussion revolves around the convergence of integrals as the variable approaches infinity, specifically focusing on various integrals and their evaluations. Participants explore different methods for solving these integrals, including the use of substitution and integration by parts, while addressing potential divergence issues.
There is no consensus on the convergence of the integrals discussed. Some participants assert that certain integrals do not converge, while others question the correctness of these claims and seek further clarification.
Participants express difficulty in following some of the written work, indicating potential issues with clarity and presentation. There are also unresolved mathematical steps and assumptions regarding the limits and behavior of the integrals as they approach infinity.
This discussion may be useful for students and practitioners interested in integral calculus, particularly those exploring convergence issues and methods for evaluating improper integrals.
Can you help me for question 4? This is my last question, is that true?MarkFL said:3. I would observe that the area in question may be found from:
$$A=\int_{-\infty}^0 e^x\,dx$$
This is an improper integral, and so I would write:
$$A=\lim_{t\to-\infty}\left(\int_t^0 e^x\,dx\right)=\lim_{t\to-\infty}\left(e^0-e^t\right)=1\quad\checkmark$$
Yes, please write all of steps, sir.MarkFL said:According to W|A the definite integral given in #4 does not converge.
$$I=\int_2^{\infty}\frac{x\sqrt{x}}{x^2-1}\,dx$$
Using your substitution:
$$u=\sqrt{x}\implies du=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\,dx\implies dx=2u\,du$$
We then have:
$$I=2\int_{\sqrt{2}}^{\infty}\frac{u^4}{u^4-1}\,du=2\int_{\sqrt{2}}^{\infty}1+\frac{1}{u^4-1}\,du$$
And then using partial fractions, we may write:
$$I=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\sqrt{2}}^{\infty} 4+\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u+1}-\frac{2}{u^2+1}\,du$$
Do you agree so far?
I did not solve that question, I just put it on paper. I thought I was writing legibly. :/MarkFL said:I'm having trouble following your written work. Can you neatly show how you would proceed?
MarkFL said:My next step would be to write the improper integral as:
$$I=\frac{1}{2}\lim_{t\to\infty}\left(\int_{\sqrt{2}}^{t} 4+\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u+1}-\frac{2}{u^2+1}\,du\right)$$
Can you give the anti-derivative we would use in our application of the FTOC on the definite integral in the limit?
ozgunozgur said:Is 4u + ln|u+1| - ln|u-1| + 2arctan(u) result?
if t --> is infinity;
= 4t - 4kok(2) + ln|(t+1)/(kok(2)+1)| - ln|(t-1)/(kok(2)+1)| + 2arctan(t) - 2arctan(kok(2))
is t a divergent integral since it approximates to infinity?
