Question
Question: The integral \(\int _ { - \infty } ^ { 0 } \frac { 1 } { a ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 2 } } d x , a \neq 0\) is...
The integral ∫−∞0a2+x21dx,a=0 is
A
Convergent and equal to aπ
B
Convergent and equal to 2aπ
C
Divergent and equal to aπ
D
Divergent and equal to 2aπ
Answer
Convergent and equal to 2aπ
Explanation
Solution
I=∫−∞0a2+x2dx=limk→−∞∫k0a2+x2dx
⇒ I=limk→−∞[a1tan−1ax]k0=limk→−∞[a1tan−10−a1tan−1ak]
⇒ I=0−a1tan−1(−∞)=−a1(2−π)=2aπ
Hence integral is convergent.
