This integral does not exist.
Explanation:
Since
here, so that the integral becomes
Substitute
This is an improper integral, since the integrand diverges at the lower limit. This is defined as
if this exists. Now
since this diverges in the limit
Explanation:
The integral
Substitute first
Thus, we have
Now, substitute
Then,
Continuing, we have
