Written by RIDA MATH. Each prompt says what a strong contribution looks like.

  1. Advanced

    A Frullani-type integral

    Evaluate ∫0∞e−x−e−2xx dx\displaystyle\int_0^\infty \frac{e^{-x} - e^{-2x}}{x}\,dx by writing the integrand as an integral in a parameter and exchanging the order of integration. Which theorem justifies the exchange?

    A strong contribution: Arrives at ln⁡2\ln 2 and cites Fubini–Tonelli with the non-negativity of the integrand.

  2. University

    Same integral, two routes

    Compute ∫01x2e3x dx\int_0^1 x^2 e^{3x}\,dx by repeated integration by parts and by a linear-algebra method on the basis {x2e3x,xe3x,e3x}\{x^2e^{3x}, xe^{3x}, e^{3x}\}. Which route is easier to check?

    A strong contribution: Both values agree; the comparison mentions where sign errors are likely.
