Kalkylator för bestämda och oegentliga integraler

Kalkylatorn försöker beräkna bestämda integraler (dvs. med integrationsgränser), inklusive oegentliga, och visar stegen.

Enter a function:

Integrate with respect to:

Enter a lower limit:

If you need `-oo`, type -inf.

Enter an upper limit:

If you need `oo`, type inf.

Please write without any differentials such as `dx`, `dy` etc.

If the calculator did not compute something or you have identified an error, or you have a suggestion/feedback, please contact us.

Solution

Your input: calculate $$$\int_{0}^{\infty}\left( \frac{1}{x^{2}} \right)dx$$$

First, calculate the corresponding indefinite integral: $$$\int{\frac{1}{x^{2}} d x}=- \frac{1}{x}$$$ (for steps, see indefinite integral calculator)

Since there is infinity in the upper bound, this is improper integral of type 1.

The interval of integration contains the point $$$0$$$, which is not in the domain of the integrand, so this is an improper integral of type 2.

To evaluate an integral over an interval, we use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. However, we need to use limit if an endpoint of the interval is special (infinite or is not in the domain of the function).

$$$\int_{0}^{\infty}\left( \frac{1}{x^{2}} \right)dx=\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- \frac{1}{x}\right)-\lim_{x \to 0}\left(- \frac{1}{x}\right)=\infty$$$

Since the value of the integral is not finite, then it is divergent.

Answer: the integral is divergent.
