Question
In Plancks Radiation Law, we encounter the integral, 1dxx5(e1/x 1).(a) Explain why a graph of the tangent line to et at t = 0tells us that for all t1 + t et.(b) Substituting t = 1/x, show that for all x = 0e1/x 1 >1x.(c) Use the comparison test to show that the original integralconverges.
Solution
The first step in solving 7.7 problem number 31 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Plancks Radiation Law, we encounter the integral, 1dxx5(e1/x 1).(a) Explain why a graph of the tangent line to et at t = 0tells us that for all t1 + t et.(b) Substituting t = 1/x, show that for all x = 0e1/x 1 >1x.(c) Use the comparison test to show that the original integralconverges.
From the textbook chapter COMPARISON OF IMPROPER INTEGRALS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
