Find $$intlimits_{2}^{3}frac{mathrm dn}{(n-2)(3-n)}$$






My Attempt:



Let $$begin{align}frac{1}{(n-2)(3-n)}&=frac{A}{n-2}+frac{B}{3-n} \ &= frac{A(3-n)+B(n-2)}{(n-2)(3-n)}\ Rightarrow 1 &= A(3-n)+B(n-2) \ &= 3A - An+Bn-2B \ &= n(B-A)+3A-2B.end{align}$$ Equating coefficients on both sides, we obtain $$B-A=0 qquad and qquad 3A-2B=1.$$ $$therefore A=B=1.$$ $$$$ $$begin{align}therefore intlimits_{2}^{3}frac{mathrm dn}{(n-2)(3-n)} &= intlimits_{2}^{3}bigg(frac{1}{n-2}+frac{1}{3-n}bigg),mathrm dn \ &= intlimits_{2}^{3}frac{1}{n-2},mathrm dn+intlimits_{2}^{3}frac{1}{3-n},mathrm dn \ &=left[log(n-2)right]_{small 2}^{small 3}+left[log(3-n)right]_{small 2}^{small 3} \ &= left[log(3-2)-log(2-2)right]+left[log(3-3)+log(3-2)right] \ &= left[log 1-log 0right]+left[log 0 - log 1right]end{align}$$ but $log 0$ is undefined, thus my answer is coming undefined. Am I doing something wrong in the solution?





Thank you in advance.

No.



There are two singularities at $n = 2$ and $n = 3$, as can be determined by inspecting the denominator, and they are quite strong. The integral does not converge.

    More quantitatively, a singular term $x^{-alpha}$ with $alpha ge 1$ is strong enough to diverge when integrated (with respect to $x$) up to its singular point, but with $0 le alpha < 1$, it actually is weak enough that it can converge.

No, there is nothing wrong. You havebegin{align}int_2^3frac1{(x-2)(x-3)},mathrm dx&=int_2^{5/2}frac1{(x-2)(x-3)},mathrm dx+int_{5/2}^3frac1{(x-2)(x-3)},mathrm dx\&=lim_{tto2^+}int_t^{5/2}frac1{(x-2)(x-3)},mathrm dx+lim_{tto3^-}int_{5/2}^tfrac1{(x-2)(x-3)},mathrm dx.end{align}None of these limits exist, since the function that's being integrated behaves as $frac1{x-3}$ near $3$ and as $frac1{x-2}$ near $2$.
