Math Problem Statement

560 ⁣55xdx56\int_0^{\infty}\!55x\,\mathrm{d}x

Solution

The given integral is:

56055xdx56 \int_0^{\infty} 55x \, \mathrm{d}x

First, we can factor out the constants from the integral:

56×550xdx56 \times 55 \int_0^{\infty} x \, \mathrm{d}x

Simplifying the constants:

30800xdx3080 \int_0^{\infty} x \, \mathrm{d}x

Now, let's evaluate the integral 0xdx\int_0^{\infty} x \, \mathrm{d}x. This is a divergent integral because as xx \to \infty, xx grows without bound. Therefore, the integral does not converge to a finite value and the result is:

\boxed{\infty}

This means that the original integral is divergent.

Would you like more details on improper integrals or any related concepts?

Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. What are improper integrals, and how do they differ from definite integrals?
  2. How do we determine when an integral is divergent?
  3. What methods can be used to evaluate improper integrals that do converge?
  4. Can divergent integrals be assigned a value using special techniques (e.g., regularization)?
  5. How do integrals behave when the integrand grows at a rate proportional to xx?

Tip: When evaluating integrals that involve infinity as a limit, always check whether the function converges or diverges before proceeding.
