Here's a fun integral. \[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}e^{-tx}\frac{ sinx }{ x } dx\] for t>=0.

OpenStudy (perl):

depends on your definition of fun

OpenStudy (perl):

its an improper integral on both upper and lower limits

OpenStudy (kainui):

Doable. Proof right there. =)

OpenStudy (perl):

different answers for different t?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Well that's just a special case when t=1.

OpenStudy (perl):

looks like the answer is arctan(1/t)

OpenStudy (perl):

i would solve this by expanding the taylor series

OpenStudy (perl):

this does not have an elementary antiderivative

OpenStudy (kainui):

This has an elementary antiderivative.

OpenStudy (kainui):

Your guess is actually quite close.

OpenStudy (perl):

ok let me try the taylor
