Question

I have a question about integrating 1/x^6 from 1 to infinity

Answer 1

what is the question ?
you were able to successfully integrate ?

Answer 2

Yes, I integrated it, plugged in the values and got \[\frac{ -1 }{ b ^{5} }+1\]

Answer 3

The first part goes to zero, right?

Answer 4

and the second is obviously just 1

Answer 5

absolutely,
infinity is very large number,
so 1.infinity will be very small, very near to 0, we can say tending to 0 (1/infinity ->0)
so we can plug in 0 for 1st term :)

Answer 6

**1/infinity will be ....

Answer 7

zero?

Answer 8

though the integral will be
-1/ (5x^5) , isn't it ?

Answer 9

x^(-6) integrates to -x^(-5)/5

Answer 10

ohhhhh

Answer 11

yes, 1st term = 0

Answer 12

I totally skipped over the 5

Answer 13

so, recalculate the answer and tell me what u get ?
