Answer:

Diverges

Explanation:

For the improper integral to converge the limit must exist, if the limit does not exist or is infinite the integral diverges;


\int\limits^a_b {(2x+4)/x^2+4x+5} \, dx#

Where a and be is infinity

The solution of this is infinity and therefore the integral diverges because the first expression is undefined because ∞/∞, the second term is 4·∞ which is infinity and infinity added to any number is infinity
