what is x \[\int\limits_{0^-}^{0^+}x\text dx=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean what is x? your integral is zero.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[x(0) \neq 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean What is u(x) so that \[ \int_{0^{-}}^{0^{+}} u(x) dx =1 \]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah sorry \[u(0)\neq0\] \[u(0)=\infty\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u is the Dirac delta function at zero, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

you got it!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
