I think I miss something...

What I did is wrong, however I figured out what was wrong and no further help is needed.
If someone is interested I'll post the right proof. (I've used "Dirichlet Convergence Test" with "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus").
 
Hi,
I must be mistaken, but I don't know where. Could you please correct me?:

* int(f(x), x=1..infinity) converges is equivalent to int(abs(f(x)),x=1..infinity) coonverges;
*for x>=1, f(x)/x<=f(x).
*then, int(f(x)) converges implies int(f(x)/x) converges.
??
 
This is true only if, integral (f(x)dx) from 1 to infinity, is absolutely convergent.
For example, integral (cosx/x) from 1 to infinity, is convergent but, integral abs(cosx/x) from 1 to infinity diverges.

Thanks estro,
I would be very interested in your proof, if you don't mind then...
