Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given integral is:
First, we can factor out the constants from the integral:
Simplifying the constants:
Now, let's evaluate the integral . This is a divergent integral because as , grows without bound. Therefore, the integral does not converge to a finite value and the result is:
This means that the original integral is divergent.

- What are improper integrals, and how do they differ from definite integrals?
- How do we determine when an integral is divergent?
- What methods can be used to evaluate improper integrals that do converge?
- Can divergent integrals be assigned a value using special techniques (e.g., regularization)?
- How do integrals behave when the integrand grows at a rate proportional to ?
Tip: When evaluating integrals that involve infinity as a limit, always check whether the function converges or diverges before proceeding.
