Consider the following statements about definite integrals. 1. The integral of an odd function over a symmetric interval vanishes   2. Reversing the limits reverses the sign   3. A convergent improper integral must have a bounded integrand

  • A.1 and 3 only are correct
  • B.2 and 3 only are correct
  • C.1, 2 and 3 are all correct
  • D.1 and 2 only are correct

Answer: D

The first two are standard properties. The third fails: \( \int_{0}^{1} dx/\sqrt{x} = 2 \) converges although the integrand is unbounded at the origin. Convergence turns on how fast the integrand grows, not on whether it stays finite
