Using Cauchy's Tip for Changing Integral Variable Inconsistencies

In summary, the conversation discusses changing the integral variable to jx and the potential mistake in the bounds of the integral compared to the book. It also mentions using the Cauchy theorem to solve the inconsistency, but there is confusion on how to apply it.

hat about the part that says: "by using the Cauchy theorem and showing that..."?

dear Simon
I didn't understand how can I use the Cauchy tip to solve this inconsistency?
 
  • #4
It's a step you seemto have left out though.
I'll agree it looks like there's a minus sign missing. Maybe there's a typo? I can't actually read the image properly.

It allows you to perform the integral from [itex]\omega = -i\infty[/itex] to [itex]\omega = +i\infty[/itex], which on setting [itex]\omega = ix[/itex] becomes [itex]x = -\infty[/itex] to [itex]x = \infty[/itex].
 

Related to Using Cauchy's Tip for Changing Integral Variable Inconsistencies

Question 1: What is meant by "change of integral variable"?

Change of integral variable refers to the process of substituting one variable for another in an integral function. This substitution can help simplify the integral and make it easier to solve.

Question 2: Why do we use change of integral variable?

We use change of integral variable to simplify integrals that are difficult to solve using traditional methods. It allows us to manipulate the integral function and make it easier to evaluate.

Question 3: What are the steps to perform change of integral variable?

The steps to perform change of integral variable are:

  • Identify the variable to be substituted.
  • Determine the appropriate substitution variable.
  • Find the derivative of the substitution variable.
  • Replace the original variable with the substitution variable and its derivative in the integral function.
  • Solve the resulting integral using the new variable.

Question 4: What are some common substitution variables used in change of integral variable?

Some common substitution variables used in change of integral variable are:

  • Sine or cosine functions for integrals involving trigonometric functions.
  • Exponential or logarithmic functions for integrals involving exponential or logarithmic functions.
  • u-substitution for integrals involving polynomials or rational functions.

Question 5: Can change of integral variable be used for definite integrals?

Yes, change of integral variable can be used for both indefinite and definite integrals. When performing change of integral variable for definite integrals, the limits of integration must also be changed accordingly.
