Answer: Writing (a) The improper integrals and diverge and converge, respectively

Chapter 8, Problem 91

(choose chapter or problem)

Writing

(a) The improper integrals

\(\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x} d x \text { and } \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x^{2}} d x\)

diverge and converge, respectively. Describe the essential differences between the integrands that cause one integral to converge and the other to diverge.

(b) Sketch a graph of the function y =(sin x)/x over the interval (1, \(\infty\)). Use your knowledge of the definite integral to make an inference as to whether the integral

\(\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{\sin x}{x} d x\)

converges. Give reasons for your answer.

(c) Use one iteration of integration by parts on the integral in part (b) to determine its divergence or convergence.
