Lower limit is 1, upper limit is inifnity.
integral(1 to infinity) (1/2^x) dx < infinity
Lower limit is 1, upper limit is inifnity.

∫ 1/2^x dx
= - 2^-x / ln2 + c
Plugging limits x = 1 to ∞,
= - (1/ln2) * lim (x → ∞) [2^-x - 2^-1]
= 1/(2ln2) < ∞.
= - 2^-x / ln2 + c
Plugging limits x = 1 to ∞,
= - (1/ln2) * lim (x → ∞) [2^-x - 2^-1]
= 1/(2ln2) < ∞.
