Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Integrate the function
We know that (\int\frac{1}{3^{x}}dx=\int3^{-x}dx). Using the formula (\int a^{u}du=\frac{a^{u}}{\ln a}+C) (here (a = 3), (u=-x), (du=-dx)), we have (\int3^{-x}dx=-\frac{3^{-x}}{\ln 3}+C).
Step2: Evaluate the definite - integral
[ \begin{align*} \int_{10}^{\infty}\frac{1}{3^{x}}dx&=\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty}\int_{10}^{t}3^{-x}dx\ &=\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty}\left[-\frac{3^{-x}}{\ln 3}\right]{10}^{t}\ &=\lim{t\rightarrow\infty}\left(-\frac{3^{-t}}{\ln 3}+\frac{3^{-10}}{\ln 3}\right) \end{align*} ] Since (\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty}3^{-t}=\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{3^{t}} = 0)
Answer:
(\frac{1}{3^{10}\ln 3}\approx0.00000595)
