integral from 0 to pi of sec(x)

\int_{0}^{π} sec (x) d x

diverges

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{π} sec (x) d x

Take the denominator(s) of

sec (x)

and compare to zero:

x = \frac{π}{2}

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}^{\frac{π}{2}} sec (x) d x + \int_{\frac{π}{2}}^{π} sec (x) d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sec (x) d x =

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges

= diverges
