If
b
a
I f (x)dx= ∫
Here,
a) F:[a b] R,→ f(x) is bounded on a x b≤ ≤
b) f R[a b]∈ i.e.
b
a
f (x)dx∫ exists
c) f (x) may be discontinuous at any C [a b]∈ but f(c) ≠ ∞

a
f (x)dx∫ is called proper integral.
2. Improper Integral : An integral
b
a
f (x)dx∫ becomes an improper integral when
1. a = −∞ i.e. (lower limit)
Or 2. b = ∞ i.e. (upper limit)
Or 3. f (x) = ∞ for some x [a b]∈
First and second condition means b-a is not finite but third condition means of is not bounded on
[a b]

Convergent Integral
1. If
b
lim
a
b f (x)dx→∞ = =∫ l finite then we say that
a
f (x)dx
∞
∫ converges to l and we write
a
f (x)dx
∞
=∫ l
2. If the limit does not exists then the integral is divergent i.e.
b
lim
a
b f (x)dx or→∞ = ∞ − ∞ =∫
infinite then we say that
a
f (x)dx

∫ diverges

[Comparison test T2] (or) If one converges then other and if one diverges then other

Assume the contrary that

But this is contradiction to hypothesis
a

Hence the assumption
a
