Improper Integrals: Part 2The second type of improper integral: the interval is finite, but theintegrand is discontinuous at some points.Iffis continuous on [a,b) and is discontinuous atb, thenZbaf(x)dx:=limtb-Ztaf(x)dx.If the limit exists as a finite number, we say this improper integralconverges, otherwise we say it diverges.Chapter 7.8: Improper Integral,Section 7.8 Improper Integrals13 / 28
Improper Integrals: Part 2Iffis continuous on (a,b] and is discontinuous ata, thenZbaf(x)dx:=limta+Zbtf(x)dx.If the limit exists as a finite number, we say this improper integralconverges, otherwise we say it diverges.Chapter 7.8: Improper Integral,Section 7.8 Improper Integrals14 / 28
