Problema 8.8.92

Capitolo 8, Problema 8.8.92

92. Evaluate ∫ from 3 to ∞ [ dx / (x √(x² - 9))]

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recognize that the integral is an improper integral because the upper limit is infinity. So, rewrite the integral as a limit: \(\displaystyle \lim_{t \to \infty} \int_{3}^{t} \frac{dx}{x \sqrt{x^{2} - 9}}\).

To evaluate the integral \(\int \frac{dx}{x \sqrt{x^{2} - 9}}\), use a trigonometric substitution. Since the integrand contains \(\sqrt{x^{2} - 9}\), let \(x = 3 \sec \theta\), which implies \(dx = 3 \sec \theta \tan \theta \, d\theta\).

Substitute \(x = 3 \sec \theta\) and \(dx\) into the integral. Also, express \(\sqrt{x^{2} - 9}\) in terms of \(\theta\): \(\sqrt{(3 \sec \theta)^{2} - 9} = \sqrt{9 \sec^{2} \theta - 9} = 3 \tan \theta\).

Rewrite the integral in terms of \(\theta\): \(\int \frac{3 \sec \theta \tan \theta \, d\theta}{3 \sec \theta \cdot 3 \tan \theta}\). Simplify the expression by canceling common factors.

After simplification, integrate the resulting expression with respect to \(\theta\). Then, convert back to the variable \(x\) using the inverse trigonometric relationships from the substitution. Finally, apply the limits by converting the original limits \(x=3\) and \(x=t\) to their corresponding \(\theta\) values, and take the limit as \(t \to \infty\).

Improper Integrals

Improper integrals involve integration over an infinite interval or integrands with infinite discontinuities. To evaluate them, we replace the infinite limit with a variable and take the limit as it approaches infinity, ensuring the integral converges to a finite value.
