Does $int_{-1}^1 frac{f(x)g(x)}{sqrt(1-x^2)} dx$ converge?

$begingroup$


I was supposed to prove that $int_{-1}^1 frac{f(x)g(x)}{sqrt(1-x^2)} dx$ converges.



However, I am not sure if this actually converges because I was not given any information about $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ other than that $f(x), g(x) in mathbb{R}[x]$. Could someone give any insights? Thanks

    A continuous function on a compact set is bounded. Then you are left to prove that $int_{-1}^1 frac{1}{sqrt{1-x^2}} dx$ converges

    @dmsj So $f$ and $g$ are real polynomials ($mathbb{R}[x]$). Aren't they?

Are $f$ and $g$ continuous? If they are, then the only possibility of non-convergence is at the endpoints $pm1$ of the interval. So we ask if
the integrals over $[1-epsilon,1]$ and $[-1,-1+epsilon]$ converge. These
are similar, so look at the second. A change of variables gives
$$int_{-1}^{-1+epsilon}frac{h(x),dx}{sqrt{1-x^2}}
=int_0^epsilonfrac{h(y-1),dy}{sqrt{y(2-y)}}=int_0^epsilonfrac
{k(y),dy}{sqrt y}$$
for suitable continuous functions $h$ and $k$. As $k$ is continuous,
it is bounded on $[0,epsilon]$, so the integral is bounded by a constant
multiple of $int_0^epsilon frac{dy}{sqrt y}$ which is a convergent
integral.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?
