Let u be a differentiable function of x, and let a > 0.

Definite integrals are improper when they go infinitely far up, down, right or left. Ex: (one or more vertical asymptotes)

Ex: one or both of the limits of integration is infinite

Improper Integrals(Just look at the way that integral is holding its fork!)

1. If f is continuous on the interval [a,∞), then

2. If f is continuous on the interval (-∞,b], then

3. If f is continuous on the interval (-∞, ∞), then

where c is any real number.

In the 1st two cases, the improper integral converges if the limit exists- otherwise, it diverges. Third case: left diverges if either of the right diverge.

1. If f is continuous on the interval [a,b), and has an infinite discontinuity at b, then

2. If f is continuous on the interval (a,b], and has an infinite discontinuity at a, then

3. If f is continuous on the interval [a,b], except for some c in (a,b) at which f has an infinite discontinuity, then

where c is any real number.

In the 1st two cases, the improper integral converges if the limit exists- otherwise, it diverges. Third case: left diverges if either of the right diverge.
