for which values of p does the integral converge
0\intpi/2(tan(x))pdx
i know there is a rule that a\int∞1/xαdx
if
α>1 does converge
α<1 does not converge
so can i apply the same logic here saying
0\intpi/21/(tan(x))-pdx
so if
-p>1 does converge
-p<1 does not converge
or is this not good since i have d(x) and not d(tan(x))??
do i need to say tanx=t dt=dx/cos2x
if so how do i continue from here since ill have
\inttp/cos2x dt
-----------------------------------------
the books answer is 1<p<2
can you please show me how
