solve the equation given and m off for tonight
\[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty} \frac{ dx }{ x ^{1/3}(1-x)^{1/2} }\]
hmmm it's an improper integral, can rewrite it as \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\int\limits_{0}^{n}\frac{ dx }{ x ^{1/3}(1-x)^{1/2} }\]
maybe you can now use integration by parts
well tp begin with what do you already know
It's not an equation, dude.
so what is it? O.o
It's just an expression. You could call it an integral. Equations require an equal sign.
oops then can you solve it?
There is this thing called the beta function, ever hear of it?
yep
gamma function and beta function both
well
I don't think it has an elementary anti-derivative.
what can you tell about its convergence
Remember the \(p\) series.... \[ \int \frac{1}{x^p}dx \]Converges for \(p>1\). Otherwise it diverges.
olright then gotcha
Try comparing it to a \(p\) series.
