can you please intergrate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{\infty}\theta x(1+x)^{-(1+\theta)}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will it be possible to use intergration by parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It substitution let u = 1+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thus x=u-1and dx=du

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean this\[\int\limits_{2}^{\infty}\theta(u-1)u^{-1-\theta}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did u get 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since x is from 1 to infinity, u will be from x+1to infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b/c u=x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then will you do the rest?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have \[-(\frac{ 2^{-\theta+1} }{ -\theta+1 }+\frac{ 2^{-\theta} }{ \theta })\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the question is from 1 up to infinity, right? Check once again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is from 1 to infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the solution i typed bfore is already substituted with the limits of integration( infinity and 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yape correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this\[\frac{ \theta }{ 2^{\theta}(1-\theta) }\]must be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u multiply with theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you are incorrect while you integrate the integrand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check this \[\int\limits_{2}^{\infty}u ^{-\theta}-u ^{-(1+\theta)} du\] \[(\frac{ u ^{-\theta+1} }{ -\theta+1 }+\frac{ u ^{-\theta} }{ \theta})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there it \[theta\] in front of the expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it must be like this\[\int\limits_{2}^{\infty}({\theta}u^{-\theta}-{\theta}u^{-1-\theta})du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i will have \[\theta(\frac{ 2^{-\theta+1} }{ -\theta+1}+\frac{ 2^{\theta} }{ theta})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now \[\frac{ 2^{-\theta} (\theta+1)}{ -\theta+1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \theta }{ 1-\theta }u^{1-\theta}-\frac{ \theta }{ -\theta }u^{-\theta}\]\[=\frac{ \theta }{ 1-\theta }u^{1-\theta}+u^{-\theta}\]\[=\frac{ \theta }{ 1-\theta }2^{1-\theta}+2^{-\theta}\]\[=(\frac{ 2{\theta} }{ 1-\theta }+1)\frac{ 1 }{ 2^{\theta} }\]\[=\frac{ \theta+1 }{ 2^{\theta} (1-\theta)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i have it hence from what we have solve for theta \[\frac{ \theta+1 }{ 2^{\theta} (1-\theta)}=x\] i have this \[\theta+1=2^{\theta}(1-\theta) x\] \[\theta+1=2^{\theta}x-2^{\theta}x \theta \] \[1=2^{\theta}x-2^{\theta}x \theta-\theta\] then from here i don't know wat to do
