integral from 0 to 1 of 1/(x(x+1))

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x ( x + 1 )} d x

diverges

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x ( x + 1 )} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( x + 1 )} : \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x + 1}

= \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x + 1} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x} d x - \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x + 1} d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x} d x =

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges

= diverges

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos^{2} (2 x) d x

\int_{- π}^{π} x^{2} cos (x) d x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x ( x + 1 )} d x

\int_{- 1}^{1} 2 cos (\frac{π}{3} x) d x

\int_{0}^{2} (x^{3}) d x
