Math Problem Statement

I = ∫_{-\infty}^{\infty} (x sin(\pi x)) / (x^2 + 2x + 17) dx

Solution

The image you uploaded contains the following integral:

I=xsin(πx)x2+2x+17dxI = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{x \sin(\pi x)}{x^2 + 2x + 17} \, dx

This is an improper integral of a rational function involving trigonometric terms. To solve it, we can employ techniques such as contour integration or the use of known integral results, as this is a standard form often encountered in Fourier analysis or complex analysis.
