TopicIndefinite & Definite Integrals
TypeImproper integral evaluation
DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a pure recognition/definition question requiring students to identify which integral has no discontinuities or infinite limits. It tests only conceptual understanding of what makes an integral 'improper' with no calculation required—significantly easier than typical A-level questions.
Spec4.08c Improper integrals: infinite limits or discontinuous integrands

1 Which of the integrals below is not an improper integral?
Circle your answer. \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } e ^ { - x } d x\) \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 2 } \frac { 1 } { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \mathrm {~d} x\) \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \sqrt { x } \mathrm {~d} x\) \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { x } } \mathrm {~d} x\)
