For ∫ xdx/(x²-1) from 0 to 2, we have to note that there is a vertical asymptote in the function at x=1, hence divide the range of integration into two parts, namely 0 to 1 and 1 to 2 and integrate accordingly.

If each sub-integral exists and is convergent, the answer is the sum of the two. Otherwise, the original integral is divergent.
