(a) Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^{\infty} xe^{-x}~dx}
(b) Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_1^4 \frac{dx}{\sqrt{4-x}}}
| Background Information: |
|---|
| 1. How could you write Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^{\infty} f(x)~dx} so that you can integrate? |
|
You can write Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^{\infty} f(x)~dx=\lim_{a\rightarrow\infty} \int_0^a f(x)~dx.} |
| 2. How could you write Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_{-1}^1 \frac{1}{x}~dx?} |
|
The problem is that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}} is not continuous at Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=0.} |
|
So, you can write Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_{-1}^1 \frac{1}{x}~dx=\lim_{a\rightarrow 0^-} \int_{-1}^a \frac{1}{x}~dx+\lim_{a\rightarrow 0^+} \int_a^1 \frac{1}{x}~dx.} |
| 3. How would you integrate Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int xe^x\,dx?} |
|
You can use integration by parts. |
|
Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u=x} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle dv=e^xdx.} |
Solution:
(a)
| Step 1: |
|---|
| First, we write Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^{\infty} xe^{-x}~dx=\lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} \int_0^a xe^{-x}~dx.} |
| Now, we proceed using integration by parts. |
| Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u=x} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle dv=e^{-x}dx.} |
| Then, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle du=dx} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle v=-e^{-x}.} |
| Thus, the integral becomes |
|
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^{\infty} xe^{-x}~dx=\lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} \left.-xe^{-x}\right|_0^a-\int_0^a-e^{-x}\,dx.} |
| Step 2: |
|---|
| For the remaining integral, we need to use Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u} -substitution. |
| Let Then, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle du=-dx.} |
| Since the integral is a definite integral, we need to change the bounds of integration. |
| Plugging in our values into the equation Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u=-x,} we get |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u_1=0} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u_2=-a.} |
| Thus, the integral becomes |
|
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\int_0^{\infty} xe^{-x}~dx} & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} -xe^{-x}\bigg|_0^a-\int_0^{-a}e^{u}~du}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} -xe^{-x}\bigg|_0^a-e^{u}\bigg|_0^{-a}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} -ae^{-a}-(e^{-a}-1)}.\\ \end{array}} |
| Step 3: |
|---|
| Now, we evaluate to get |
|
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\int_0^{\infty} xe^{-x}~dx} & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} -ae^{-a}-(e^{-a}-1)}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} \frac{-a}{e^a}-\frac{1}{e^a}+1}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} \frac{-a-1}{e^a}+1}.\\ \end{array}} |
| Using L'Hôpital's Rule, we get |

| Since the integral is a definite integral, we need to change the bounds of integration. |
