Identity involving an improper integral (with geometric application)
Is it (for some reason) true that
$\lim_{c\to 0^+}\int_c^{\pi/2}\frac{c}{t}\sqrt\frac{1+t^2}{t^2-c^2}dt=\frac{\pi}{2}$?
Numerical evidence (from Mathematica):
when $c=1/5$, the integral is $\...

Prove $\int_0^{\infty}{\frac{1}{e^{sx}\sqrt{1+s^2}}}ds < \arctan\left(\frac1x\right),\quad\forall x\ge1$
The question is to prove:
$$
\int_0^{\infty}{\frac{1}{e^{sx}\sqrt{1+s^2}}}ds < \arctan\left(\frac1x\right),\quad\forall x\ge1.
$$
Numerically it seems to hold true. So I have made some attempts to ...

Solving the integral identity $ \int_{a}^{b} f(x)dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(x)g(x)dx. $ [closed]
We know that 0 is the additive identity and 1 is the multiplicative identity. In the same spirit let us define the integral identity as follows.
Definition: Let $f(x)$ be integrable in $(a,b)$. If ...
