Define a function ff as follows: For every integer kk, f(k)=0f(k) = 0. For all x∈(k,k+1)x \in (k, k+1), f(x)={2−k(x−k)if k is even2−k−(x−k−1)if k is oddf(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{2^{-k}}{\sqrt{(x-k)}} & \text{if }k\text{ is even} \\ \frac{2^{-k}}{\sqrt{-(x-k-1)}} & \text{if }k\text{ is odd} \end{cases} What is the value of ∫0∞f(x) dx\int_0^\infty f(x) \, \text{d}x?

(Hint: You're going to want to split the larger integral up into infinitely many smaller integrals.)
