Chapter 15.1, Problem 53E

To determine

(a)

The mathematical proof of the statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$ is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Given: $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ for a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: The function $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , $f (0) = a - 1$ is continuous if $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x) = f (0) = a - 1$ .

Step 2: We verify this limit using L'Hopital Rule:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{- e^{- x} + a e^{- a x}}{1} = - 1 + a = a - 1$

Therefore, f is continuous.

Conclusion: The statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$ is mathematically proved.

The mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: Both the mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $x > 1$ , $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ , $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , a > 0

Calculation:

Step 1: We now show that the following integral converges:

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ (a>0)

Since, $e^{- x} - e^{- a x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ then $\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x}$ for x > 0

If x > 1 we have,

$\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

That is for x > 1

$f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 2: Also, since $e^{- a x} - e^{- x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$ we have for x > 1

$\frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$

Thus, we get

$- f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 3: Hence, from Step 1 and Step 2, we get

$0 \leq | f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 4: We now show that the integral of the right hand side converges:

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{\infty} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{0}^{R} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} (- e^{- x} - {\frac{e^{- a x}}{a} |}_{x = 0}^{R}) \\ = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + e^{0} + \frac{e^{0}}{a}) = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + 1 + \frac{1}{a}) = 1 + \frac{1}{a} \end{array}$

Since the integral converges, we conclude from Step 3 and the Comparison Test for Improper Integral that

$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{(e^{- x} + e^{- a x})}{x} d x$ also converges for a > 0.

Conclusion: Both the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are mathematically proved.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: The mathematical proof of the equation $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ is derived

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We compute the inner integral with respect to y:

$\int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y = - \frac{1}{x} {e^{- x y} |}_{y = 1}^{a} = - \frac{1}{x} (e^{- x a} - e^{- x .1}) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$

Step 2: Hence,

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x = \int_{0}^{\infty} (\int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y) d x = \int_{0}^{\infty} (\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}) d x = I (a)$

Conclusion: The equation $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ is mathematically proved.

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: By interchanging the order of integration, the mathematical proof of the equation

$I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: By the definition of the improper integral,

$I (a) = \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$

Step 2: We compute the double integral. Using Fubini's Theorem we may compute the iterated integral using the reversed order of integration. That is,

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x = \int_{1}^{a} \int_{0}^{T} e^{- x y} d x d y = \int_{1}^{a} (\int_{0}^{T} e^{- x y} d x) d y = \int_{1}^{a} ({- \frac{1}{y} e^{- x y} |}_{x = 0}^{T}) d y \\ = \int_{1}^{a} (- \frac{1}{y} (e^{- T y} - e^{- 0. y})) d y = \int_{1}^{a} \frac{1 - e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \int_{1}^{a} \frac{d y}{y} - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \\ = {\ln y |}_{1}^{a} - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \ln a - \ln 1 - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \ln a - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \end{array}$

Combining with Step 1, we get,

$I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

Conclusion: By interchanging the order of integration, the equation $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is mathematically proved.

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We consider the following possible cases:

Case 1: $a \geq 1$ then in the interval of integration $y \geq 1$ . As $T \to \infty$ , we may assume that T > 0

Thus,

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T .1}}{1} = e^{- T}$

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{1}^{a} e^{- T} d y = e^{- T} (a - 1)$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} e^{- T} (a - 1) = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that,

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = 0$

Case 2: $0 < a < 1.$

Then,

$\int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = - \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

and in the interval of integration $a \leq y \leq 1$ , therefore

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T a}}{a}$ (the function $\frac{e^{- T y}}{y}$ is decreasing).

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T a}}{a} d y = \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a}$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a} = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

We thus showed that for all a > 0, $\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

Conclusion: The statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is mathematically proved.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$ is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Given: $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ for a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: The function $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , $f (0) = a - 1$ is continuous if $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x) = f (0) = a - 1$ .

Step 2: We verify this limit using L'Hopital Rule:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{- e^{- x} + a e^{- a x}}{1} = - 1 + a = a - 1$

Therefore, f is continuous.

Conclusion: The statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$ is mathematically proved.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: Both the mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $x > 1$ , $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ , $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , a > 0

Calculation:

Step 1: We now show that the following integral converges:

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ (a>0)

Since, $e^{- x} - e^{- a x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ then $\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x}$ for x > 0

If x > 1 we have,

$\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

That is for x > 1

$f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 2: Also, since $e^{- a x} - e^{- x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$ we have for x > 1

$\frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$

Thus, we get

$- f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 3: Hence, from Step 1 and Step 2, we get

$0 \leq | f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 4: We now show that the integral of the right hand side converges:

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{\infty} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{0}^{R} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} (- e^{- x} - {\frac{e^{- a x}}{a} |}_{x = 0}^{R}) \\ = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + e^{0} + \frac{e^{0}}{a}) = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + 1 + \frac{1}{a}) = 1 + \frac{1}{a} \end{array}$

Since the integral converges, we conclude from Step 3 and the Comparison Test for Improper Integral that

$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{(e^{- x} + e^{- a x})}{x} d x$ also converges for a > 0.

Conclusion: Both the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are mathematically proved.

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We consider the following possible cases:

Case 1: $a \geq 1$ then in the interval of integration $y \geq 1$ . As $T \to \infty$ , we may assume that T > 0

Thus,

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T .1}}{1} = e^{- T}$

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{1}^{a} e^{- T} d y = e^{- T} (a - 1)$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} e^{- T} (a - 1) = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that,

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = 0$

Hence,

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: Both the mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $x > 1$ , $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ , $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , a > 0

Calculation:

Step 1: We now show that the following integral converges:

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ (a>0)

Since, $e^{- x} - e^{- a x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ then $\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x}$ for x > 0

If x > 1 we have,

$\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

That is for x > 1

$f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 2: Also, since $e^{- a x} - e^{- x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$ we have for x > 1

$\frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$

Thus, we get

$- f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 3: Hence, from Step 1 and Step 2, we get

$0 \leq | f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 4: We now show that the integral of the right hand side converges:

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{\infty} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{0}^{R} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} (- e^{- x} - {\frac{e^{- a x}}{a} |}_{x = 0}^{R}) \\ = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + e^{0} + \frac{e^{0}}{a}) = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + 1 + \frac{1}{a}) = 1 + \frac{1}{a} \end{array}$

Since the integral converges, we conclude from Step 3 and the Comparison Test for Improper Integral that

$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{(e^{- x} + e^{- a x})}{x} d x$ also converges for a > 0.

Conclusion: Both the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are mathematically proved.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: The mathematical proof of the equation $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ is derived

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We compute the inner integral with respect to y:

Solution: By interchanging the order of integration, the mathematical proof of the equation

$I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: By the definition of the improper integral,

$I (a) = \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$

Step 2: We compute the double integral. Using Fubini's Theorem we may compute the iterated integral using the reversed order of integration. That is,

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x = \int_{1}^{a} \int_{0}^{T} e^{- x y} d x d y = \int_{1}^{a} (\int_{0}^{T} e^{- x y} d x) d y = \int_{1}^{a} ({- \frac{1}{y} e^{- x y} |}_{x = 0}^{T}) d y \\ = \int_{1}^{a} (- \frac{1}{y} (e^{- T y} - e^{- 0. y})) d y = \int_{1}^{a} \frac{1 - e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \int_{1}^{a} \frac{d y}{y} - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \\ = {\ln y |}_{1}^{a} - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \ln a - \ln 1 - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \ln a - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \end{array}$

Combining with Step 1, we get,

$I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We consider the following possible cases:

Case 1: $a \geq 1$ then in the interval of integration $y \geq 1$ . As $T \to \infty$ , we may assume that T > 0

Thus,

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T .1}}{1} = e^{- T}$

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{1}^{a} e^{- T} d y = e^{- T} (a - 1)$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} e^{- T} (a - 1) = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that,

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = 0$

Case 2: $0 < a < 1.$

Then,

$\int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = - \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

and in the interval of integration $a \leq y \leq 1$ , therefore

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T a}}{a}$ (the function $\frac{e^{- T y}}{y}$ is decreasing).

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T a}}{a} d y = \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a}$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a} = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

We thus showed that for all a > 0, $\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

Conclusion: The statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is mathematically proved.

Answer 4

Question

Chapter 15.1, Problem 53E

To determine

(a)

The mathematical proof of the statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$ is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Given: $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ for a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: The function $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , $f (0) = a - 1$ is continuous if $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x) = f (0) = a - 1$ .

Step 2: We verify this limit using L'Hopital Rule:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{- e^{- x} + a e^{- a x}}{1} = - 1 + a = a - 1$

Therefore, f is continuous.

Conclusion: The statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$ is mathematically proved.

The mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: Both the mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $x > 1$ , $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ , $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , a > 0

Calculation:

Step 1: We now show that the following integral converges:

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ (a>0)

Since, $e^{- x} - e^{- a x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ then $\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x}$ for x > 0

If x > 1 we have,

$\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

That is for x > 1

$f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 2: Also, since $e^{- a x} - e^{- x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$ we have for x > 1

$\frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$

Thus, we get

$- f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 3: Hence, from Step 1 and Step 2, we get

$0 \leq | f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 4: We now show that the integral of the right hand side converges:

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{\infty} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{0}^{R} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} (- e^{- x} - {\frac{e^{- a x}}{a} |}_{x = 0}^{R}) \\ = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + e^{0} + \frac{e^{0}}{a}) = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + 1 + \frac{1}{a}) = 1 + \frac{1}{a} \end{array}$

Since the integral converges, we conclude from Step 3 and the Comparison Test for Improper Integral that

$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{(e^{- x} + e^{- a x})}{x} d x$ also converges for a > 0.

Conclusion: Both the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are mathematically proved.

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We consider the following possible cases:

Case 1: $a \geq 1$ then in the interval of integration $y \geq 1$ . As $T \to \infty$ , we may assume that T > 0

Thus,

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T .1}}{1} = e^{- T}$

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{1}^{a} e^{- T} d y = e^{- T} (a - 1)$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} e^{- T} (a - 1) = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that,

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = 0$

Case 2: $0 < a < 1.$

Then,

$\int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = - \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

and in the interval of integration $a \leq y \leq 1$ , therefore

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T a}}{a}$ (the function $\frac{e^{- T y}}{y}$ is decreasing).

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T a}}{a} d y = \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a}$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a} = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

We thus showed that for all a > 0, $\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$ is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Given: $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ for a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: The function $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , $f (0) = a - 1$ is continuous if $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x) = f (0) = a - 1$ .

Step 2: We verify this limit using L'Hopital Rule:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{- e^{- x} + a e^{- a x}}{1} = - 1 + a = a - 1$

Therefore, f is continuous.

Conclusion: The statement stating that using L'Hopital Rule, $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , though not defined at x = 0, can be made continuous by assigning the value $f (0) = a - 1$ is mathematically proved.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: Both the mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $x > 1$ , $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ , $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , a > 0

Calculation:

Step 1: We now show that the following integral converges:

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ (a>0)

Since, $e^{- x} - e^{- a x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ then $\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x}$ for x > 0

If x > 1 we have,

$\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

That is for x > 1

$f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 2: Also, since $e^{- a x} - e^{- x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$ we have for x > 1

$\frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$

Thus, we get

$- f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 3: Hence, from Step 1 and Step 2, we get

$0 \leq | f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 4: We now show that the integral of the right hand side converges:

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{\infty} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{0}^{R} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} (- e^{- x} - {\frac{e^{- a x}}{a} |}_{x = 0}^{R}) \\ = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + e^{0} + \frac{e^{0}}{a}) = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + 1 + \frac{1}{a}) = 1 + \frac{1}{a} \end{array}$

Since the integral converges, we conclude from Step 3 and the Comparison Test for Improper Integral that

$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{(e^{- x} + e^{- a x})}{x} d x$ also converges for a > 0.

Conclusion: Both the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are mathematically proved.

$0 \leq \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{1}^{a} e^{- T} d y = e^{- T} (a - 1)$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} e^{- T} (a - 1) = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that,

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = 0$

Case 2: $0 < a < 1.$

Then,

$\int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = - \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

and in the interval of integration $a \leq y \leq 1$ , therefore

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T a}}{a}$ (the function $\frac{e^{- T y}}{y}$ is decreasing).

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T a}}{a} d y = \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a}$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a} = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

We thus showed that for all a > 0, $\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

Conclusion: The statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is mathematically proved.

The mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 53E

Solution: Both the mathematical proof of the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the mathematical proof of the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $x > 1$ , $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ , $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , a > 0

Calculation:

Step 1: We now show that the following integral converges:

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ (a>0)

Since, $e^{- x} - e^{- a x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ then $\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x}$ for x > 0

If x > 1 we have,

$\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

That is for x > 1

$f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 2: Also, since $e^{- a x} - e^{- x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$ we have for x > 1

$\frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$

Thus, we get

$- f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 3: Hence, from Step 1 and Step 2, we get

$0 \leq | f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 4: We now show that the integral of the right hand side converges:

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{\infty} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{0}^{R} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} (- e^{- x} - {\frac{e^{- a x}}{a} |}_{x = 0}^{R}) \\ = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + e^{0} + \frac{e^{0}}{a}) = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + 1 + \frac{1}{a}) = 1 + \frac{1}{a} \end{array}$

Since the integral converges, we conclude from Step 3 and the Comparison Test for Improper Integral that

$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{(e^{- x} + e^{- a x})}{x} d x$ also converges for a > 0.

Conclusion: Both the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are mathematically proved.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $x > 1$ , $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ , $f (x) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$ , a > 0

Calculation:

Step 1: We now show that the following integral converges:

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} d x$ (a>0)

Since, $e^{- x} - e^{- a x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ then $\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x}$ for x > 0

If x > 1 we have,

$\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- x} + e^{- a x}}{x} < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

That is for x > 1

$f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 2: Also, since $e^{- a x} - e^{- x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$ we have for x > 1

$\frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < \frac{e^{- a x} - e^{- x}}{x} < e^{- a x} + e^{- x}$

Thus, we get

$- f (x) < e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 3: Hence, from Step 1 and Step 2, we get

$0 \leq | f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$

Step 4: We now show that the integral of the right hand side converges:

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{\infty} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{0}^{R} (e^{- x} + e^{- a x}) d x = \lim_{R \to \infty} (- e^{- x} - {\frac{e^{- a x}}{a} |}_{x = 0}^{R}) \\ = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + e^{0} + \frac{e^{0}}{a}) = \lim_{R \to \infty} (e^{- R} - \frac{e^{- a R}}{a} + 1 + \frac{1}{a}) = 1 + \frac{1}{a} \end{array}$

Since the integral converges, we conclude from Step 3 and the Comparison Test for Improper Integral that

$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{(e^{- x} + e^{- a x})}{x} d x$ also converges for a > 0.

Conclusion: Both the statement stating that $| f (x) | \leq e^{- x} + e^{- a x}$ for $x > 1$ using triangle inequality and the statement stating that I(a) converges by applying the Comparison Theorem are mathematically proved.

Solution: The mathematical proof of the equation $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ is derived

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We compute the inner integral with respect to y:

$\int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y = - \frac{1}{x} {e^{- x y} |}_{y = 1}^{a} = - \frac{1}{x} (e^{- x a} - e^{- x .1}) = \frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}$

Step 2: Hence,

$I (a) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x = \int_{0}^{\infty} (\int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y) d x = \int_{0}^{\infty} (\frac{e^{- x} - e^{- a x}}{x}) d x = I (a)$

Solution: By interchanging the order of integration, the mathematical proof of the equation

$I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: By the definition of the improper integral,

$I (a) = \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x$

Step 2: We compute the double integral. Using Fubini's Theorem we may compute the iterated integral using the reversed order of integration. That is,

$\begin{array}{l} \int_{0}^{T} \int_{1}^{a} e^{- x y} d y d x = \int_{1}^{a} \int_{0}^{T} e^{- x y} d x d y = \int_{1}^{a} (\int_{0}^{T} e^{- x y} d x) d y = \int_{1}^{a} ({- \frac{1}{y} e^{- x y} |}_{x = 0}^{T}) d y \\ = \int_{1}^{a} (- \frac{1}{y} (e^{- T y} - e^{- 0. y})) d y = \int_{1}^{a} \frac{1 - e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \int_{1}^{a} \frac{d y}{y} - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \\ = {\ln y |}_{1}^{a} - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \ln a - \ln 1 - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = \ln a - \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \end{array}$

Combining with Step 1, we get,

$I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

Solution: The mathematical proof of the statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is derived.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We consider the following possible cases:

Case 1: $a \geq 1$ then in the interval of integration $y \geq 1$ . As $T \to \infty$ , we may assume that T > 0

Thus,

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T .1}}{1} = e^{- T}$

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{1}^{a} e^{- T} d y = e^{- T} (a - 1)$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} e^{- T} (a - 1) = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that,

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = 0$

Case 2: $0 < a < 1.$

Then,

$\int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = - \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

and in the interval of integration $a \leq y \leq 1$ , therefore

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T a}}{a}$ (the function $\frac{e^{- T y}}{y}$ is decreasing).

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T a}}{a} d y = \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a}$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a} = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

We thus showed that for all a > 0, $\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

Conclusion: The statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is mathematically proved.

Explanation of Solution

Given: $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ , a>0

Calculation:

Step 1: We consider the following possible cases:

Case 1: $a \geq 1$ then in the interval of integration $y \geq 1$ . As $T \to \infty$ , we may assume that T > 0

Thus,

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T .1}}{1} = e^{- T}$

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{1}^{a} e^{- T} d y = e^{- T} (a - 1)$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} e^{- T} (a - 1) = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that,

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = 0$

Case 2: $0 < a < 1.$

Then,

$\int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y = - \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$

and in the interval of integration $a \leq y \leq 1$ , therefore

$\frac{e^{- T y}}{y} \leq \frac{e^{- T a}}{a}$ (the function $\frac{e^{- T y}}{y}$ is decreasing).

Hence,

$0 \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y \leq \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T a}}{a} d y = \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a}$

By the limit $\lim_{T \to \infty} \frac{1 - a}{a} e^{- T a} = 0$ and the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that

$\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{a}^{1} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

We thus showed that for all a > 0, $\lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} = 0$

Conclusion: The statement stating the limit in $I (a) = \ln a - \lim_{T \to \infty} \int_{1}^{a} \frac{e^{- T y}}{y} d y$ is zero by using the Comparison Theorem is mathematically proved.
