Question 01 (b) |
---|
Answer the following multiple choice question. Check your answer very carefully. Your answer will be marked right or wrong (work will not be considered for this problem). Does the integral converge? A. Converge. B. Diverge. |
Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
If you are stuck, check the hints below. Read the first one and consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! If after a while you are still stuck, go for the next hint. |
Hint 1 |
---|
Use the integral p test. |
Hint 2 |
---|
If you do not know how to use the integral p test, estimate the integral with a lower bound first. |
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used all the hints, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. The difference between the highest exponents is 3 - 2 = 1. By the intergral p test (with p = 1) this integral diverges. More precisely we estimate the integral with Here we see exactly how to use the integral p test. We also can continue with the anti-derivative |
