Bab 8.4

Considering the many complicated integrations that we have

done, here is one that
looks simple enough but is incorrect.

One glance at Figure 1 tells us that something is terribly

wrong. The value of the integral
(if there is one) has to be a positive number. (Why?)
Where is our mistake? To answer, we refer back to Section
4.2. Recall that for
a function to be integrable in the standard (or proper) sense it
must be bounded.

Our function, , is not bounded, so it is not

integrable in the proper. so it is not integrable in the proper sense. We say that

is an improper integral with an infinite integrand (unbounded integrand is a more accurate

but less colorful term).
Until now, we have carefully avoided infinite integrands in all our examples and problems. We could
continue to do this, but this would be to avoid a kind of integral that has important applications. Our task
for this section is to define and analyze
this new kind of integral.

Integrands That Are Infinite at an End Point

Definition

Let f be continuous on the half-open interval [a, b) and suppose that . Then

provided that this limit exists and is finite, in which case we say that the integral converges. Otherwise, we
say that the integral diverges.
Note the geometric interpretation shown in Figure 2.

Integrands That Are Infinite at an Interior Point

The integral of our introduction has an integrand that tends to infinity at x = 0, an interior
point of the interval [ -2, 1]. Here is the appropriate definition to give meaning to such an integral.
