I'm not exactly sure which part you're referring to. But 1 to any power (including 1-p) is just 1.glmrkl said:I'm not sure what to do to get the 1 instead of 1^(1-p) in the above image
An improper integral is an integral where one or both of the limits of integration are infinite or the function being integrated has an infinite discontinuity within the interval. In simpler terms, it is an integral that does not have a finite value due to certain conditions.
A step in an improper integral can be confusing because it may involve manipulating and evaluating infinite or undefined values, which can be counterintuitive and require a different approach than a regular integral.
An integral is improper if one or both of the limits of integration are infinite or the function being integrated has an infinite discontinuity within the interval. It can also be improper if the integrand approaches infinity at one or both of the limits of integration.
Some common techniques for solving improper integrals include using limits of integration, breaking the integral into smaller parts, using substitution, and applying the Comparison Test or the Limit Comparison Test.
Yes, an improper integral can have a finite value if the improper behavior at the limits of integration can be cancelled out or compensated for by the function being integrated. This can be achieved through techniques such as integration by parts or using a different variable of integration.
