I tried with x=tan u and it seems like the integral is divergent because of this:
##\int _{ 0 }^{ \infty }{ \frac { 1 }{ x\left( { x }^{ 2 }+1 \right) } dx } =\int _{ 0 }^{ \frac { \pi }{ 2 } }{ \frac { \cos { u } }{ \sin { u } } du } ##
How can I get the improper integral
## \int_0^{\infty}\frac{1}{x(1+x^2)}\,dx ##
First thing I tried was separating the integral like this
## \int_0^{1}\frac{1}{x(1+x^2)}\,dx + \int_1^{\infty}\frac{1}{x(1+x^2)}\,dx##
And then I tried with partial fractions but it didn't work
Could you help me to find the general term of the sequence:
## 1 , \frac{5}{3} , 1 , \frac{15}{17} , 1 , \frac{37}{35} , 1 , \frac{63}{65} ,... ##
Thank you!
Homework Statement
How can I integrate this? I already tried substitution u=x-1 and partial fractions.
∫[dx]/[(1-X^2)√((x^2)-3x+2)]
