1
In this section, we will define what it means for an integral to be improper and begin investigating how to determine convergence or divergence of such integrals.
3
We might have one (or both) of the limits of integration being infinite.
4
The function could have an infinite discontinuity somewhere in the interval [a, b].

5
We will use limits. If exists, then we say I converges to this value, otherwise it diverges.
6
Suppose f has an infinite discontinuity at x = a. If exists, then we say I converges to this value, otherwise it diverges. Suppose f has an infinite discontinuity at x = b. If exists, then we say I converges to this value, otherwise it diverges.
7
Determine whether the integral converges or diverges. If it converges, state to what value.
