Decide if the improper integral 0 e 2t dt converges ,and if so, to what
Question:
Decide if the improper integral ∫0∞ e−2t dt converges ,and if so, to what value, by the following method.
(a) Use a computer or calculator to find ∫b0 e−2t dt forb = 3, 5, 7, 10.What do you observe? Make a guess about the convergence of the improper integral.
(b) Find ∫b0 e−2t dt using the Fundamental Theorem. Your answer will contain b.
(c) Take the limit b → ∞ of your answer to part (b). Does this limit confirm your guess from part (a)?
