Is this an example of a divergent integral?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Or is there actually a value for I?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

I mean, how can you get an actual number with infinity on top?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

you're integrating f(v) dx. so v is assumed a constant so you get what MW throws at you. makes sense

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

But there is not an x there. Check the screenshot

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

there is , and in the MW output

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

So that means it is divergent then, right?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

@IrishBoy123

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

clearly

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Can you check this answer for me then?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

which answer?!

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

I say by what I got from the last problem this one is.

OpenStudy (dan815):

yes

OpenStudy (dan815):

think of all divergent series, represent them in continuos form,

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Thanks so much dan.

OpenStudy (dan815):

mhm sure :)

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

that is a straight integral: \(-\frac{5}{14}e^{-7x^2}\) from \( - \infty \ to + \infty\) at \( - \infty \) to have a problem

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Ok, that makes some sense. How do I go about these?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

The one marked was by mistake.

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Again, I know the same way you are helping me with, but the dx is in a weird place.

OpenStudy (irishboy123):
