Answer

Divergent

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & \int_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\frac{2x+4}{{{x}^{2}}+4x+5}}dx \\ & \text{Therefore} \\ & \int_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\frac{2x+4}{{{x}^{2}}+4x+5}}dx=\int_{-\infty }^{0}{\frac{2x+4}{{{x}^{2}}+4x+5}}dx+\int_{0}^{\infty }{\frac{2x+4}{{{x}^{2}}+4x+5}}dx \\ & \text{Integrating} \\ & =\left[ \ln \left( {{x}^{2}}+4x+5 \right) \right]_{-\infty }^{0}+\left[ \ln \left( {{x}^{2}}+4x+5 \right) \right]_{0}^{\infty } \\ & =\left[ \ln \left( 5 \right)-\ln \left( \infty \right) \right]+\left[ \ln \left( \infty \right)-\ln \left( 5 \right) \right] \\ & =\infty \\ & \text{The improper integral diverges} \\ & \text{Divergent} \\ \end{align}\]
