Evaluate the definite intergral of sin x from o to infinity.

OpenStudy (jamesj):

It doesn't exist.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty} \sin x\]

i need to show work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why doesnt it exist

OpenStudy (jamesj):

More preciely, that integral exists if and only if this limit exists: \[ \lim_{R→∞} \int_0^R \sin x \ dx \] and it doesn't. The integral with R is equal to -cos R + cos 0 = -cos R + 1. And the limit of (-cos R + 1) as R --> infty does not exist.
