Improper Integrals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{2}\frac{ 1 }{ u }- \frac{ 1 }{ u^5 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the same as \[\large \int\limits_{0}^{2}\frac{ 1 }{ u }du-\int\limits_{0}^{2}\frac{ 1 }{ u^5 }du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[ln(|u|)+C] - [-1/4u^4 + C] right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry for the late reply, i went away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, when you have that solution, just substitute u with 2 first, and after you have done that, substitute u with 0. Then subtract the latter from the first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[[\ln|2| - \frac{ -1 }{ 4(2)^4 }] - [ \ln|0| - \frac{ -1 }{ 4(0)^4 }]\] My question is how to you go about the second part, since it's an improper integral, you can't solve the second part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye the ln of 0 doesn't make sense, but that is the answer though, as far as i know
