Application of Improper Integral

This document discusses improper integrals. An improper integral is when one or both limits of integration approach infinity or negative infinity, or the function is discontinuous. Improper integrals have properties like additivity and monotonicity. There are various convergence tests that can be used to determine if an improper integral converges, such as the comparison test and limit comparison test. Improper integrals can be calculated by taking the limit as the bounds approach infinity. They have applications in areas like probability distributions, physics, and statistics. Examples are given of calculating specific improper integrals.
