(3) (a) Consider the definite integral Z 1 0 e √ x √ x dx. (i) Explain why this definite integral is an improper integral.
(ii) Determine if this improper integral converges or diverges.
(b) Consider the definite integral Z ∞ 0 arctan(2x) 1 + 4x 2 dx Recall that arctan(θ) is the inverse tangent function tan−1 (θ).
(i) Explain why this definite integral is an improper integral. (ii) Determine if this improper integral converges or diverges. Be sure to treat each improper integral with appropriate mathematical rigour. Simply treating the improper integral as if it was a proper integral will result in zero marks.
