Example

The improper integral of sin⁡xx\frac{\sin x}{x} over (0,∞)(0, \infty) converges, and ∫0∞sin⁡xx dx=π2.\int_0^\infty \frac{\sin x}{x} \, dx = \frac{\pi}{2}. The integrand extends continuously to x=0x = 0 with value 11. So only the upper limit is improper. Integration by parts gives ∫1bsin⁡xx dx=cos⁡1−cos⁡bb−∫1bcos⁡xx2 dx\int_1^b \frac{\sin x}{x} \, dx = \cos 1 - \frac{\cos b}{b} - \int_1^b \frac{\cos x}{x^2} \, dx. The last integral converges absolutely, so the limit exists.

Remarks

The integral does not converge absolutely: ∫0∞∣sin⁡x∣x dx=∞\int_0^\infty \frac{|\sin x|}{x} \, dx = \infty. So sin⁡xx\frac{\sin x}{x} is not Lebesgue integrable on (0,∞)(0, \infty). The value π/2\pi/2 needs other methods, such as differentiation under the integral sign or contour integration.
