Show that this integral is convergent for n in natural numbers:

$begingroup$


Is $int_{0}^{∞} frac{x^{2n−1}}{(1 + x^2)^{n+3}}dx$ convergent for n in natural numbers? I've already found the indefinite integral which is that but I don't know how to continue.

    I'm quite sure your indefinite integral is wrong. To prove convergence, just find an equivalent of the integrand when $xto+infty$.

Hint: observe that for $x to +infty$, we have
$$frac{x^{2n-1}}{(1+x^2)^{n+3}} sim frac{1}{x^{2n+6 - 2n +1}}=frac{1}{x^7}$$

    Actually, it does. As you can see using the asymptotic test. I believe the indefinite integral you provided is not correct.

$int_1^{infty} frac {x^{2n-1}} {(1+x^{2})^{n+3}}dx leq int_1^{infty} frac {x^{2n-1}} {(x^{2})^{n+3}}dx=int_1^{infty} x^{-7}dx <infty$. Can you show that $int_0^{1} frac {x^{2n-1}} {(1+x^{2})^{n+3}}dx<infty$?
