Answer

The integral converges and its value is $\frac{1}{4}e^{36}$.

Work Step by Step

We have $$ \int_{-\infty}^{9} e^{4x}dx=\frac{1}{4}e^{4x}|_{-\infty}^9\\ =\frac{1}{4}(e^{-\infty}-e^{36})=\frac{1}{4}(0-e^{36})=\frac{1}{4}e^{36}. $$ Hence, the integral converges and its value is $\frac{1}{4}e^{36}$.
