Test the convergence of the following integral ∫∞−∞e−x1+x2.
I can not find the indefinite integral of the integrand so that we can check at the limits −∞ and ∞ Also I can not apply any theorem about convergence , like Ables test, Dirichlet's test...etc... Can anyone help me?
Answer
Follow @Solitary comment. Let f(x) be the integrand function.
Notice that
limx→−∞f(x)=+∞
hence there is some b<0 such that for all $x1henceforalla∫baf(x)≥b−a→+∞
as a→−∞.
Hence
∫0−∞f(x)=+∞.
This assumes that you are speaking of improper integrals. If you are speaking of Lebesgue integrals the solution is even simpler...
