Just as talked about in stewart in strategy for integration. I found notes online that also say: g(x) >= f(x) >= 0, then you want to prove convergence on g. If f(x) >= g(x) >= 0, then you want to prove divergence on g. I am pretty sure I follow the logic here, but how exactly does one pick...

integral 1/(1+x^2)dx from 0 to infinity I decided to compare that to 1/(1+x) (saying 1/(1+x) > (1/(1+x^2)) but this diverges when the original equation converges. Can someone explain why the integral 1/(1+x) was not a proper choice and what the process would be to find a correct comparison.
