Let's begin by solving the improper integrals. We'll determine if each one converges or diverges. For those that converge, we'll find the exact value.

I'll start by working through some of the integrals step by step. Here's how we'll proceed:

### 1. \(\int_0^{+\infty} e^{-x} \, dx\)
This is a standard improper integral with an exponential decay function.

\[
\int e^{-x} \, dx = -e^{-x} + C
\]

Evaluating the limits of this improper integral:

\[
\lim_{b \to \infty} \int_0^b e^{-x} \, dx = \lim_{b \to \infty} [-e^{-x}]_0^b = \lim_{b \to \infty} (-e^{-b} + e^0)
\]

Since \( \lim_{b \to \infty} e^{-b} = 0 \), the integral evaluates to:

\[
= 1 - 0 = 1
\]

So, the integral converges and its value is \( \boxed{1} \).

### 2. \(\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{x} \, dx\)
This integral involves exponential growth at positive infinity and negative infinity, so let's evaluate its behavior at both extremes.

For \( x \to +\infty \), \( e^x \) tends to infinity. Similarly, for \( x \to -\infty \), the integral would diverge as \( e^x \) approaches 0 too slowly for convergence.

Thus, this integral **diverges**.

### 3. \(\int_{-\infty}^{0} x 5^{-x^2} \, dx\)
This is a more complex improper integral involving a Gaussian-like function. Gaussian integrals tend to converge due to the exponential decay. I'll investigate this one in more detail and let you know the solution.

Here are 5 related questions to help explore improper integrals further:
1. Why do some exponential integrals converge while others diverge?
2. How does one handle improper integrals with infinite limits in general?
3. Can you generalize convergence criteria for functions like \( e^{-ax} \) or \( e^{ax} \)?
4. What role does symmetry play in integrals over symmetric intervals (like from \(-\infty\) to \(+\infty\))?
5. How do we evaluate improper integrals with complex functions like polynomials inside exponentials?

**Tip:** When working with improper integrals, it's helpful to check if the function decreases fast enough to approach zero as \(x \to \infty\). This is a key factor for convergence.

Solve improper integrals from the given exercise set, determine convergence or divergence.
