Hey guys,
I'm trying to figure out how wolfram solves the following improper integral
from x=1 to infinity dx/(x(2x+5))
When I solve it as an indefinite, I get the same answer as wolfram (1/5)(ln|x| - ln|2x+5|). However, once I try to integrate with the 1 and infinity, I get (1/5)ln|7| as my final answer, as opposed to Wolfram's (1/5)ln|7/2|
Can someone explain this to me please? I'm so confused.
Thank you so much.
