Another fun integral!

OpenStudy (perl):

sorry, keep doing what?

OpenStudy (kainui):

\[1=\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}te^{-tx}dx\] This should be true, check it yourself. Then: \[t^{-1}=\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}te^{-tx}dx\] take the derivative of both sides with respect to t until you feel comfortable writing the formula for the n'th derivative of t.

OpenStudy (kainui):

Ahh that second equation should say: \[t^{-1}=\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}e^{-tx}dx\]

OpenStudy (perl):

right

OpenStudy (kainui):

So as an example, the first derivative of that eq wrt t is: \[(-1)t^{-2}=\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}(-x)e^{-tx}dx\]
