let put I =∫_0 ^1    (x^p /(1+x))dx .ch.x=(1/t) give  I = ∫_1 ^(+∞)      (1/(t^p (1+(1/t)))) (dt/t^2 ) = ∫_1 ^(+∞)     (dt/(t^(p+2)  +t^(p+1) ))  = ∫_1 ^(+∞)     (dt/(t^(p+2) ( 1+(1/t))))  .and at V(∞)  (1/(t^(p+2) (1+(1/t))))∼  (1/t^(p+2) )  ∫_1 ^(+∞)   (dt/t^(p+2) ) converges ⇔ p+2>1 ⇔p >−1 .so  I converges ⇔ p>−1 .  2) ∀ x∈[0,1]  (x^p /(1+x)) ≤ x^p  ⇒  ∫_0 ^1   (x^p /(1+x)) dx ≤  ∫_0 ^1  x^p dx=(1/(p+1)) ⇒  lim_(p→∞)  ∫_0 ^1    (x^p /(1+x)) dx =0 .

  1) (x^p /(1+x))=x^(p−1) −x^(p−2) + ∙∙∙ (−1)^(p+1) +(((−1)^p )/(x+1))=Σ_(k=0) ^(p−1) (−1)^(p+k+1) x^k   ∫_0 ^1 (x^p /(1+x))=[(x^p /p)−(x^(p−1) /(p−1))+ ∙∙∙ +(−1)^(p+1) +(−1)^p ln∣x+1∣]_0 ^1 =  =[Σ_(k=1) ^p (−1)^(p+k)  (x^k /k)  +  (−1)^p ln∣x+1∣]_0 ^1 =Σ_(k=1) ^p  (((−1)^(p+k)  )/k)  +  (−1)^p ln2=  =(1/p)−(1/(p−1))+ ∙∙∙ +(−1)^(p+1)   +  (−1)^p ln2
