$$wehave{\int }_0^{\mathrm{\infty }}\frac{e^{-x}-e^{-x^2}}{x}dx={\int }_0^1(...)dx+{\int }_1^{+\mathrm{\infty }}(...)dxand{e}^{-x}=1-x+\frac{x^2}{2}+o\left(x^3\right)$$$$e^{-x^2}=1-x^2+\frac{x^4}{2}+o\left(x^6\right)\Rightarrow$$$$e^{-x}-e^{-x^2}\sim x^2-x+\frac{x^2-x^4}{2}(x\to 0)\Rightarrow$$$$\frac{e^{-x}-e^{-x^2}}{x}\sim x-1+\frac{x-x^3}{2}(x\to 0)$$$${lim}_{x\to 0}\frac{e^{-x}-e^{-x^2}}{x}=-1sothe{\int }_0^1\frac{e^{-x}-e^{-x^2}}{x}dx$$$$convergesalsowehave{lim}_{x\to +\mathrm{\infty }}{x}^2\frac{e^{-x}-e^{-x^2}}{x}$$$$=0so{\int }_1^{+\mathrm{\infty }}\frac{e^{-x}-e^{-x^2}}{x}converges.$$
