Question

Evaluate the following: Options are: -20 0 20 The integral diverges

Answer 1

Answer:

The integral diverges

Step-by-step explanation:

∫₋₁¹ 10/x² dx

There is a discontinuity in the function at x = 0.  Splitting this into two integrals:

∫₋₁⁰ 10/x² dx + ∫₀¹ 10/x² dx

-10/x |₋₁⁰ + -10/x |₀¹
