The function q(x)=4x−7(x−3)(x+1)q(x)=\dfrac{4x-7}{(x-3)(x+1)} is to be integrated over the interval [0,4][0,4]. Let M=∫04q(x) dxM=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{4} q(x)\,dx. a. Part 1: Express MM as one or more limits of definite integrals whose integrands are continuous on their respective intervals. b. Part 2: Determine whether MM converges. Provide a clear justification that references the limit(s) written in part (a). c. Part 3: If MM converges, evaluate it exactly; if it diverges, state the type of divergence and support your conclusion.
