Answer

$$2 \sqrt{2}$$

Work Step by Step

\begin{aligned} \int_{1}^{3} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{3-x}} &=\lim _{R \rightarrow 3} \int_{1}^{R} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{3-x}} \\ &=\lim _{R \rightarrow 3}- 2 \sqrt{3-x}\bigg|_{1} ^{R} \\ &=\lim _{R \rightarrow 3} 2 \sqrt{2}-2 \sqrt{3-R} \\ &=2 \sqrt{2}\end{aligned} Converges.
