Explain why each of the following integrals is improper. (a) 6 x x − 5 dx 5 Since the integral has an infinite interval of integration, it is a Type 1 improper integral. Since the integral has an infinite discontinuity, it is a Type 2 improper integral. The integral is a proper integral.

The blue whale is the largest animal living on the earth. the average blue whale measures 100 feet long (30 meters) and weighs 300,000 pounds (136,000 kilograms). a whale’s head is 1⁄3 of the length of its body. a new baby whale is 1⁄4 the length of a grown whale. the average man is 1⁄17 the length of a blue whale, and 1⁄1,818 its weight. a human baby measures 1⁄4 of the length of an adult. calculate the following information: how long is a whale’s head? how long is a new baby whale? how tall is the average man? how much does the average man weigh? how tall is the average human baby?
