SSC Pure Mathematics QUESTION #11150
Question 1
$\displaystyle\int_0^\infty \frac{\sin x}{x}\,dx =$
  • $0$
  • $-\dfrac{\pi}{2}$
  • $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$✔️
  • $\pi$
Correct Answer Explanation
The Dirichlet integral: $\displaystyle\int_0^\infty \frac{\sin x}{x}\,dx = \dfrac{\pi}{2}$. This classical result can be derived using the Laplace transform: $\int_0^\infty \frac{\sin x}{x}e^{-sx}\,dx = \arctan(1/s)$. Setting $s\to 0^+$ gives $\pi/2$.
