Calculus 2: Improper Integrals (8 of 16) BE CAREFUL!! Example

In this video I will show an example where you must BE CAREFUL when finding the integral (0 to 5) of (x-1)^1/2.

Next video in the series can be seen at:

So simple and yet so helpful at the same time. Im impressed.

I have a question professor, you only solved one integral and got infinity, and I know in this case if you solved the second integral you will get a finite number, but if we got -infinity, wouldn't that mean we can use L'hopital and find that it is convergent?

how can i know the limit is below or above

Hi sir,
In this case why ln |0| = infinity and not - infinity.
