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

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

diverges

Solution steps

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

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

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}^{0} \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x + \int_{0}^{4} \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x

\int_{- 1}^{0} \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x =

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges

= diverges

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{x ^{3} + 1}{x ^{2}} d x

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

\int_{- 1}^{1} 8 - 8 x^{2} d x

\int_{0}^{t} u e^{2 u} sin (3 u) d u

\int_{1}^{6} \frac{1}{x - 4} d x
