Okay so in order to solve this question you have to determine if the integral converges or diverges over the interval. You want to find the limit as the function approaches -1, since the function is undefined at this value. The integral of this function is ln(x+1), evaluate this over the interval. ln(6) - ln(0). the natural log of zero is undefined to the integral is divergent.

⁵
∫ dx/(x+1) = log 6 - lim log |m + 1| = ∞ (as m → 0)
⁻¹
the integral diverges
