integral from-1 to 4 of 4/(3x^2)

\int_{- 1}^{4} \frac{4}{3 x ^{2}} d x

diverges

Solution steps

\int_{- 1}^{4} \frac{4}{3 x ^{2}} d x

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

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_{- 1}^{0} \frac{4}{3 x ^{2}} d x + \int_{0}^{4} \frac{4}{3 x ^{2}} d x

\int_{- 1}^{0} \frac{4}{3 x ^{2}} d x =

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges

= diverges
