integral from 0 to pi/2 of x/(x^2-1)

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

diverges

Solution steps

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

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 1

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_{0}^{1} \frac{x}{x ^{2} - 1} d x + \int_{1}^{\frac{π}{2}} \frac{x}{x ^{2} - 1} d x

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

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges

= diverges

\int_{0}^{\frac{1}{11}} x ln (11 x) d x

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

\int_{0}^{2} (3 - x) (1 - x^{2}) d x

\int_{- 3}^{4} cos (x) - \frac{3}{x ^{5}} d x

\int_{0}^{2} sin (x) e^{- x} d x
