integral from 1 to 4 of 1/(x^2-4)

\int_{1}^{4} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 4} d x

diverges

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{4} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 4} d x

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 2

If exist

b, a < b < c, f (b) =

undefined

, \int_{a}^{c} f (x) d x = \int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x + \int_{b}^{c} f (x) d x

= \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 4} d x + \int_{2}^{4} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 4} d x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 4} d x =

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges

= diverges

\int_{2.7}^{8.3} 12 x^{2} - 6 x + 4 d x

\int_{0}^{3} x^{2} - 9 d x

\int_{0}^{2 π} - 16 d t

\int_{- π}^{π} cos^{2} (m x) d x

\int_{0}^{8} e^{x} d x
