1)Show that for all n∈N the following is true:
∫nππ|sin(x)x|dx≥C⋅n−1∑k=11k+1
for a constant C>0 and conclude that the improper integral ∫∞0sin(x)xdx isn't absolutely convergent.
2)Show that the improper integral ∫∞01−cos(x)x2dx is absolutely convergent. (The integrand is to be expanded continuous at x=0.).
3)Using 2), show that the improper integral ∫∞0sin(x)xdx is convergent.
We started discussing improper integrals in class and our prof showed us how some can be solved and some can't.
Anyways,
Here were my ideas so far:
1) I thought about to do the integral and seeing if what I get out of it gives me any idea to show the inequality. But I couldn't even solve the integral (not by hand nor with the help of an integral calculator). So I don't know what to do next.
2)To be hoenst I'm totally lost here. No idea how to approach it.
3)Well, since I didn't solve 2).
Sorry for my lack of work here, but this topic just doesn't want to stick with me.
Answer
1). Since
∫(n+1)πnπ|sinx|dx=2
there is
∫(n+1)ππ|sinxx|dx=n∑k=1∫(k+1)πkπ|sinxx|dx⩾n∑k=11(k+1)π∫(k+1)πkπ|sinx|dx=2πn∑k=11k+1
So ∫∞0sinxxdx diverges absolutely.
2). Since
∫(n+1)ππ1−cosxx2dx=n∑k=1∫(k+1)πkπ1−cosxx2dx⩽n∑k=11k2π2∫(k+1)πkπ(1−cosx)dx=1πn∑k=11k2
So ∫∞01−cosxx2dx is absolutely convergent.
3).By partial integration, there is
∫∞01−cosxx2dx=−1−cosxx|∞0+∫∞0sinxxdx=−2sin2x2x|∞0+∫∞0sinxxdx=∫∞0sinxxdx
So ∫∞0sinxxdx is convergent.
