calculus - if intinfty1f(x)mathrmdx converges, must intinfty1f(x)sinxmathrmdx converge?



I can't use any of the convergence tests I learned because I have no information on f(x), in particular I don't know if it's continuous or positive.




The only thing I could think of was that if 1f(x) dx was absolutely convergent, then |f(x)sinx||f(x)| would imply by the comparison test that 1f(x)sinx dx converges.



So if I want to find a counter-example I have to pick f(x) so that 1f(x) dx conditionally converges, but I can't think of one.


Answer



Consider f(x)=sin(x)/x.
