Answer:

Divergent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an integral $\int\limits^\infty _1 {\frac{1}{x^{0.999}} \, dx$ . We are asked to determine whether the given integral diverges or converges.

$\int _1^{\infty }\:\:\:\frac{1}{x^{0.999}}\:\:\:dx$

$\int _1^{\infty }\:\:\:\frac{1}{x^{0.999}}\:\:\:dx=\int _1^{\infty }\:\:\:x^{-0.999}\:\:\:dx$

$\int _1^{\infty }\:\:\:x^{-0.999}\:\:\:dx=\frac{x^{-0.999+1}}{-0.999+1}$

$\int _1^{\infty }\:\:\:x^{-0.999}\:\:\:dx=\frac{x^{0.001}}{0.001}$

$\int _1^{\infty }\:\:\:x^{-0.999}\:\:\:dx=1000x^{0.001}$

Let us compute the boundaries.

$1000(\infty)^{0.001}=\infty$

$1000(1)^{0.001}=1000$

Since $\infty-1000$ is not a finite number, therefore, the given integral diverges.

In a conjunction, / is true when both / and / are _____; otherwise, / is _____.

So from the onset, the answer to this question would be OPTION B.In a conjunction, / is true when both / and / are<span> TRUE</span>; otherwise, / is FALSE.

A conjunction refers to a compound statement, developed by combining two statement often through the use of the word 'AND'. For example, the two statements, 'Roses are Red' (statement p) .... 'Violets are Blue' (statement q), can be combined to form a conjunction that reads 'Roses are Red and Violets are Blue.' When it comes to conjunctions, it is or equivalent to the intersection of the two sets of statements (p and q → p ∩ q) which therefore means that <span>in order for the conjunction to be true, both statements must be true, otherwise, the conjunction is false.
