Chapter 5: Q. 76 (page 479)

Prove each statement in Exercises 74鈥�77, using limits of definite integrals for general values of p.
If 0 < p < 1, then ${鈭�}_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x^{p}} d x$ converges to $\frac{1}{1 - p} .$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given statement is proved.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information.

The given integral is ${鈭�}_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x^{p}} d x .$

Step 2. Prove.

To prove if 0 < p < 1, then ${鈭�}_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x^{p}} d x$ converges to $\frac{1}{1 - p},$ let aand bbe any real numbers and f(x) be a function, and if fcontinuous on role="math" localid="1649067893443" $(a, b]$ but not x = a, then role="math" localid="1649067215041" ${鈭�}_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = \lim_{A 鈫� a^{+}} {鈭�}_{A}^{b} f (x) d x .$

So,

${鈭�}_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x^{p}} d x = \lim_{A 鈫� 0^{+}} {鈭�}_{A}^{1} x^{- p} d x = \lim_{A 鈫� 0^{+}} {[\frac{x^{- p + 1}}{- p + 1}]}_{A}^{1} = \lim_{A 鈫� 0^{+}} [\frac{1}{1 - p} - \frac{1}{1 - p} A^{1 - p}] As 0 < p < 1, = \frac{1}{1 - p}$

Now, if 0 < p < 1, the pvalue is less than 1and the integral converges on [0, 1].

So, if 0 < p< 1, then $\frac{1}{x^{p}} < \frac{1}{x} for x 鈭� [0, 1] and {鈭�}_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x^{p}} d x converges to \frac{1}{1 - p} .$

Hence, the integral is proved.
