In Exercises 35–68, use integration, the Direct Comparison Test, or the Limit Comparison Test to test the integrals for convergence. If more than one method applies, use whatever method you prefer.
∫ from 0 to ∞ of (dθ / (θ² - 1))

First, identify the integral to be tested for convergence: \(\displaystyle \int_0^{\infty} \frac{d\theta}{\theta^2 - 1}\).
Notice that the integrand has vertical asymptotes where the denominator is zero, i.e., at \(\theta = 1\). This means the integral is improper at \(\theta = 1\) and at the upper limit \(\infty\).
Split the integral into two improper integrals at the point of discontinuity: \(\displaystyle \int_0^1 \frac{d\theta}{\theta^2 - 1} + \int_1^{\infty} \frac{d\theta}{\theta^2 - 1}\).
To test convergence near \(\theta = 1\), analyze the behavior of the integrand as \(\theta \to 1\). For the limit at infinity, compare the integrand to a simpler function such as \(\frac{1}{\theta^2}\) using the Direct Comparison Test or Limit Comparison Test.
Apply the Direct Comparison Test or Limit Comparison Test by computing the limit \(\displaystyle \lim_{\theta \to \infty} \frac{1/(\theta^2 - 1)}{1/\theta^2}\) and check if the integral converges or diverges based on the known behavior of \(\int_1^{\infty} \frac{1}{\theta^2} d\theta\).

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Improper Integrals

Improper integrals involve integration over an infinite interval or integrands with infinite discontinuities. To evaluate convergence, one must consider limits approaching infinity or points of discontinuity, determining if the integral approaches a finite value.

Direct Comparison Test

The Direct Comparison Test determines convergence by comparing the given integral's integrand to a simpler function with known behavior. If the integrand is smaller than a convergent function or larger than a divergent one, conclusions about convergence or divergence can be drawn.

Direct Comparison Test

Limit Comparison Test

The Limit Comparison Test compares two functions by examining the limit of their ratio as the variable approaches infinity or a point of discontinuity. If the limit is a positive finite number, both integrals either converge or diverge together, aiding in determining the original integral's behavior.
