Prove or disprove: If f is positive and lim In = A, then ∫ f(x) converges to A

by RoRi

The following function f is defined for all x \geq 1, and n is a positive integer. Prove or provide a counterexample to the following statement.

If f is positive and if

    \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} I_n = A \]

then

    \[ \int_1^{\infty} f(x) \, dx = A. \]

Incomplete.
