Comparison Test for Improper Integrals

The comparison test lets us deduce the convergence or divergence of some improper integrals by relating a complicated function that is challenging to a simpler one we can do. If we compare two functions f(x) greater than g(x) greater than 0, we can deduce things about the convergence of the improper integrals. If the larger integral converges from 1 to infinity, then the smaller one must as well. Likewise, if the smaller one diverges, then the bigger one diverges.

We specifically focus on integrals of 1/x^p, which we know precisely when it converges and diverges. Then if there is a more complicated rational function, we can compare it to this.
