So this is going to be equal Is my point valid? We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. The integral may need to be defined on an unbounded domain. For each of the functions $h(x)$ described below, decide whether $\int_{0\vphantom{\frac12}}^\infty h(x) \, d{x}$ converges or diverges, or whether there isn't enough information to decide. One thing to note about this fact is that its in essence saying that if an integrand goes to zero fast enough then the integral will converge. R {\displaystyle 1/{x^{2}}} , so, with Such an integral is often written symbolically just like a standard definite integral, in some cases with infinity as a limit of integration interval(s) that converge. }\), \begin{align*} \int_t^1 \frac{1}{x}\, d{x} &= \log|x| \bigg|_t^1 = -\log|t| \end{align*}, \begin{align*} \int_0^1 \frac{1}{x}\, d{x} &= \lim_{t=0^+}\int_t^1 \frac{1}{x}\, d{x} = \lim_{t=0^+} -\log|t| = +\infty \end{align*}. We have $\frac{1}{x} > \frac1{\sqrt{x^2+2x+5}}$, so we cannot use Theorem $\PageIndex{1}$. So negative 1/x is Notice how the integrand is $1/(1+x^2)$ in each integral (which is sketched in Figure $\PageIndex{1}$). actually evaluate this thing. T$0A`5B&dMRaAHwn. limit actually existed, we say that this improper }\), Decide whether the following statement is true or false. And so we're going to find the f CLP-2 Integral Calculus (Feldman, Rechnitzer, and Yeager), { "1.01:_Definition_of_the_Integral" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.02:_Basic_properties_of_the_definite_integral" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.03:_The_Fundamental_Theorem_of_Calculus" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.04:_Substitution" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.05:_Area_between_curves" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.06:_Volumes" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.07:_Integration_by_parts" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.08:_Trigonometric_Integrals" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.09:_Trigonometric_Substitution" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.10:_Partial_Fractions" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.11:_Numerical_Integration" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.12:_Improper_Integrals" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.13:_More_Integration_Examples" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, { "00:_Front_Matter" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "01:_Integration" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "02:_Applications_of_Integration" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "03:_Sequence_and_series" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "04:_Appendices" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "zz:_Back_Matter" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, [ "article:topic", "license:ccbyncsa", "showtoc:no", "licenseversion:40", "authorname:clp", "source@https://personal.math.ubc.ca/~CLP/CLP2" ], https://math.libretexts.org/@app/auth/3/login?returnto=https%3A%2F%2Fmath.libretexts.org%2FBookshelves%2FCalculus%2FCLP-2_Integral_Calculus_(Feldman_Rechnitzer_and_Yeager)%2F01%253A_Integration%2F1.12%253A_Improper_Integrals, $ \newcommand{\vecs}[1]{\overset { \scriptstyle \rightharpoonup} {\mathbf{#1}}}$ $ \newcommand{\vecd}[1]{\overset{-\!-\!\rightharpoonup}{\vphantom{a}\smash{#1}}} $$\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}$ $ \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}$ $ \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}$ $ \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}$ $ \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}$ $ \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}$ $ \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}$ $ \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}$ $ \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}$ $ \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}$ $\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}$ $ \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}$ $ \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}$ $ \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}$ $ \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}$ $ \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}$ $ \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}$ $ \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}$ $ \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}$ $ \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}$$\newcommand{\AA}{\unicode[.8,0]{x212B}}$, Improper integral with infinite domain of integration, Improper integral with unbounded integrand, $\int_{-\infty}^\infty\frac{\, d{x}}{(x-2)x^2}$, $\int_1^\infty\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p}$ with $p \gt 0$, $\int_0^1\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p}$ with $p \gt 0$, $\int_0^\infty\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p}$ with $p \gt 0$, $\int_{-\infty}^\infty\frac{\, d{x}}{1+x^2}$. 2 A similar result is proved in the exercises about improper integrals of the form $\int_0^1\frac1{x\hskip1pt ^p}\ dx$. }\) Then the improper integral $\int_a^\infty f(x)\ \, d{x}$ converges if and only if the improper integral $\int_c^\infty f(x)\ \, d{x}$ converges. n of 1 over x squared dx. Let's see, if we evaluate this Again, this requires BOTH of the integrals to be convergent in order for this integral to also be convergent. of x to the negative 2 is negative x to the negative 1. This right over here is As stated before, integration is, in general, hard. This is an innocent enough looking integral. provided the limit exists and is finite. The improper integral converges if this limit is a finite real number; otherwise, the improper integral diverges This page titled 3.7: Improper Integrals is shared under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license and was authored, remixed, and/or curated by OpenStax via source content that was edited to the style and standards of the LibreTexts platform; a . The previous section introduced L'Hpital's Rule, a method of evaluating limits that return indeterminate forms. These considerations lead to the following variant of Theorem 1.12.17. \begin{gather*} \int_{-1}^1 \frac{1}{x^2}\, d{x} \end{gather*}, If we do this integral completely naively then we get, \begin{align*} \int_{-1}^1\frac{1}{x^2}\ dx &= \frac{x^{-1}}{-1}\bigg|_{-1}^1\\ &= \frac{1}{-1}-\frac{-1}{-1}\\ &=-2 \end{align*}. This is a problem that we can do. f Thus this is a doubly improper integral. The integrand $\frac{1}{x^2} \gt 0\text{,}$ so the integral has to be positive. Two examples are. n The improper integral in part 3 converges if and only if both of its limits exist. = Then define, These definitions apply for functions that are non-negative. }\) For any natural number $n\text{,}$ \[\begin{align*} \Gamma(n+1) &= \int_0^\infty x^n e^{-x}\, d{x}\\ &=\lim_{R\rightarrow\infty} \int_0^R x^n e^{-x}\, d{x}\\ \end{align*}\]. Improper integrals cannot be computed using a normal Riemann But that is the case if and only if the limit $\lim_{R\rightarrow\infty}\int_c^R f(x)\, d{x}$ exists and is finite, which in turn is the case if and only if the integral $\int_c^\infty f(x)\, d{x}$ converges. Notice that in this last example we managed to show that the integral exists by finding an integrand that behaved the same way for large $x\text{. Methods Consider, for example, the function 1/((x + 1)x) integrated from 0 to (shown right). }$ In this case $F'(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}$ does not exist for $x=0\text{. , - Jack D'Aurizio Mar 1, 2018 at 17:36 Add a comment 3 Answers Sorted by: 2 All you need to do is to prove that each of integrals congerge. as x approaches infinity. and negative part M So, lets take a look at that one.

In this case weve got infinities in both limits. ), The trouble is the square root function. We cannot evaluate the integral \(\int_1^\infty e^{-x^2}\, d{x}$ explicitly 7, however we would still like to understand if it is finite or not does it converge or diverge? However, the Riemann integral can often be extended by continuity, by defining the improper integral instead as a limit, The narrow definition of the Riemann integral also does not cover the function \begin{align*} \int_1^\infty\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p} &=\lim_{R\rightarrow\infty} \int_1^R\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p} \end{align*}, \begin{align*} \int_1^R \frac{\, d{x}}{x^p} &= \frac{1}{1-p} x^{1-p} \bigg|_1^R\\ &= \frac{R^{1-p}-1}{1-p} \end{align*}, \begin{align*} \int_1^\infty\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p} &= \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_1^R\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p}\\ &= \lim_{R \to \infty} \frac{R^{1-p}-1}{1-p}\\ &= \frac{-1}{1-p} = \frac{1}{p-1} \end{align*}, \begin{align*} \int_1^\infty\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p} &= \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_1^R \frac{\, d{x}}{x^p} &= \lim_{R \to \infty} \frac{R^{1-p}-1}{1-p}\\ &= +\infty \end{align*}, \begin{align*} \int_1^R\frac{\, d{x}}{x} &= \log|R|-\log 1 = \log R \end{align*}, \begin{align*} \int_1^\infty\frac{\, d{x}}{x^p} &= \lim_{R \to \infty} \log|R| = +\infty. Don't make the mistake of thinking that $\infty-\infty=0\text{. Does the integral \(\int_1^\infty\frac{\sqrt{x}}{x^2+x}\, d{x}$ converge or diverge? % e For the integral as a whole to converge, the limit integrals on both sides must exist and must be bounded. = Remark: these options, respectively, are that the integral diverges, converges conditionally, and converges absolutely. {\textstyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }e^{-x^{2}}\,dx={\sqrt {\pi }}} \[\begin{align} \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac1{1+x^2}\ dx &= \lim_{a\to-\infty} \int_a^0\frac{1}{1+x^2}\ dx + \lim_{b\to\infty} \int_0^b\frac{1}{1+x^2}\ dx \\ &= \lim_{a\to-\infty} \tan^{-1}x\Big|_a^0 + \lim_{b\to\infty} \tan^{-1}x\Big|_0^b\\ &= \lim_{a\to-\infty} \left(\tan^{-1}0-\tan^{-1}a\right) + \lim_{b\to\infty} \left(\tan^{-1}b-\tan^{-1}0\right)\\ &= \left(0-\frac{-\pi}2\right) + \left(\frac{\pi}2-0\right).\end{align}\] Each limit exists, hence the original integral converges and has value:\[= \pi.\] A graph of the area defined by this integral is given in Figure $\PageIndex{5}$. }\), $\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\frac{x}{x^2+1}\, d{x}$ diverges, $\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\frac{x}{x^2+1}\, d{x}$ converges but $\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\left|\frac{x}{x^2+1}\right|\, d{x}$ diverges, $\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\frac{x}{x^2+1}\, d{x}$ converges, as does $\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\left|\frac{x}{x^2+1}\right|\, d{x}$. We examine several techniques for evaluating improper integrals, all of which involve taking limits. \[\begin{align} \int_{-1}^1\frac1{x^2}\ dx &= \lim_{t\to0^-}\int_{-1}^t \frac1{x^2}\ dx + \lim_{t\to0^+}\int_t^1\frac1{x^2}\ dx \\ &= \lim_{t\to0^-}-\frac1x\Big|_{-1}^t + \lim_{t\to0^+}-\frac1x\Big|_t^1\\ &= \lim_{t\to0^-}-\frac1t-1 + \lim_{t\to0^+} -1+\frac1t\\ &\Rightarrow \Big(\infty-1\Big)\ + \ \Big(- 1+\infty\Big).\end{align}\] Neither limit converges hence the original improper integral diverges. \[\begin{align} \int_1^\infty \frac1x\ dx & = \lim_{b\to\infty}\int_1^b\frac1x\ dx \\ &= \lim_{b\to\infty} \ln |x|\Big|_1^b \\ &= \lim_{b\to\infty} \ln (b)\\ &= \infty. }\) Though the algebra involved in some of our examples was quite difficult, all the integrals had. Does the integral $\displaystyle\int_{-5}^5 \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{|x|}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{|x-1|}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{|x-2|}}\right)\, d{x}$ converge or diverge? Explain why. Determine (with justification!) A graph of $f(x) = 1/\sqrt{x}$ is given in Figure $\PageIndex{7}$. We dont even need to bother with the second integral. [ The + C is for indefinite integrals. Evaluate $\displaystyle\int_0^{10} \frac{x-1}{x^2-11x+10} \, d{x}\text{,}$ or state that it diverges. So this right over a {\displaystyle [-a,a]^{n}} It appears all over mathematics, physics, statistics and beyond. So far, this is a pretty vague strategy. Figure $\PageIndex{12}$: Graphing $f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+2x+5}}$ and $f(x)=\frac1x$ in Example $\PageIndex{6}$. }\), $h(x)\text{,}$ continuous and defined for all $x\ge 0\text{,}$ $f(x) \leq h(x) \leq g(x)\text{. approaches infinity of-- and we're going to use the So, the first thing we do is convert the integral to a limit. A function on an arbitrary domain A in \[\int_{{\,a}}^{b}{{f\left( x \right)\,dx}} = \int_{{\,a}}^{{\,c}}{{f\left( x \right)\,dx}} + \int_{{\,c}}^{{\,b}}{{f\left( x \right)\,dx}}\]. A key phrase in the previous paragraph is behaves the same way for large \(x$. containing A: More generally, if A is unbounded, then the improper Riemann integral over an arbitrary domain in In other cases, however, a Lebesgue integral between finite endpoints may not even be defined, because the integrals of the positive and negative parts of f are both infinite, but the improper Riemann integral may still exist.
