Answer:
a) So, this integral is convergent.
b) So, this integral is divergent.
c) So, this integral is divergent.
Step-by-step explanation:
We calculate the next integrals:
a)
[tex]\int_1^{\infty} e^{-2x} dx=\left[-\frac{e^{-2x}}{2}\right]_1^{\infty}\\\\\int_1^{\infty} e^{-2x} dx=-\frac{e^{-\infty}}{2}+\frac{e^{-2}}{2}\\\\\int_1^{\infty} e^{-2x} dx=\frac{e^{-2}}{2}\\[/tex]
So, this integral is convergent.
b)
[tex]\int_1^{2}\frac{dz}{(z-1)^2}=\left[-\frac{1}{z-1}\right]_1^2\\\\\int_1^{2}\frac{dz}{(z-1)^2}=-\frac{1}{1-1}+\frac{1}{2-1}\\\\\int_1^{2}\frac{dz}{(z-1)^2}=-\infty\\[/tex]
So, this integral is divergent.
c)
[tex]\int_1^{\infty} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}=\left[2\sqrt{x}\right]_1^{\infty}\\\\\int_1^{\infty} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}=2\sqrt{\infty}-2\sqrt{1}\\\\\int_1^{\infty} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}=\infty\\[/tex]
So, this integral is divergent.
