If b then we define xF(b)limF(x)and if a then we define xF(a)lim F(x)If these limits exist and are finite then we say the integral _____________. Otherwise the integral ____________. For examples 1 to 13, evaluate the integral if it converges, or show that it diverges. Example 1: 11dxxThe textbook way to do Example 1: Note: The textbook expects you to use limit notation, but for me it is fine if you use the shorthand notation like in the first problem above, but make sure you understand that whenever we “plug-in” infinity we are really finding a limit.

Page 73 Improper integrals with discontinuities at or between the limits of integrationHere again we’ll do things a bit differently that the textbook. It turns out that the Fundamental Theorem is still true even if f(x)has a finite number of discontinuities on the interval [a,b], as long as the antiderivative F(x)is continuous on the interval [a,b]. Therefore, in some cases it is not necessary to take limits or split the integral even when the original function is discontinuous. Listed below are the 3 cases in which we must take action. If F(x)is continuous on (a,b]but not at xathen replace a with awhere xa)lim F(x)F(aIf F(x)is continuous on [a,b)but not at xbthen replace b with bwhere xb)lim F(x)F(bIf F(x)is continuous on [a,b]except for some c in [a,b]then bcbaacF(x)]F(x)]F(x)]If these limits exist and are finite then we say the integral converges. Otherwise the integral diverges. In the third case, the integral diverges if ______________________________________. Example 7: 201dx2xExample 8: 10ln xdxx

Page 77 Theorem: Let f(x)be a function of a real variable such that f(x)has the same values as a sequence nafor all positive integers. If xlimf(x)Lthen _____________________. This theorem allows us to use limit techniques such as RFLTand LHRto sequences.
