Explanation:

I would start by making a substitution u=10−x, and du=−dx . Then it becomes

int_(oo)^0 1/sqrtu (-1)du
which you can rewrite as

int_0^oo 1/(sqrtu) du

This is an improper integral for two reasons. First, it's got an infinite limit of integration. Second, it's infinite at u=0. It's probably going to be infinite for one of those two reasons. But let's go ahead and see what we get. The antiderivative of 1/sqrtu is 2sqrtu. So we get

[2sqrtu]_0^oo=2sqrtoo-2sqrt0->oo

So the final answer is that the integral diverges to oo.
