Find $$intlimits_2^3fracmathrm dn(n-2)(3-n)$$
My Attempt:
Let $$beginalignfrac1(n-2)(3-n)&=fracAn-2+fracB3-n \ &= fracA(3-n)+B(n-2)(n-2)(3-n)\ Rightarrow 1 &= A(3-n)+B(n-2) \ &= 3A - An+Bn-2B \ &= n(B-A)+3A-2B.endalign$$ Equating coefficients on both sides, we obtain $$B-A=0 qquad and qquad 3A-2B=1.$$ $$therefore A=B=1.$$ $$$$ $$beginaligntherefore intlimits_2^3fracmathrm dn(n-2)(3-n) &= intlimits_2^3bigg(frac1n-2+frac13-nbigg),mathrm dn \ &= intlimits_2^3frac1n-2,mathrm dn+intlimits_2^3frac13-n,mathrm dn \ &=left[log(n-2)right]_small 2^small 3+left[log(3-n)right]_small 2^small 3 \ &= left[log(3-2)-log(2-2)right]+left[log(3-3)+log(3-2)right] \ &= left[log 1-log 0right]+left[log 0 - log 1right]endalign$$ but $log 0$ is undefined, thus my answer is coming undefined. Am I doing something wrong in the solution?
Thank you in advance.

No.
There are two singularities at $n = 2$ and $n = 3$, as can be determined by inspecting the denominator, and they are quite strong. The integral does not converge.

More quantitatively, a singular term $x^-alpha$ with $alpha ge 1$ is strong enough to diverge when integrated (with respect to $x$) up to its singular point, but with $0 le alpha < 1$, it actually is weak enough that it can converge.

No, there is nothing wrong.

No, there is nothing wrong. You havebeginalignint_2^3frac1(x-2)(x-3),mathrm dx&=int_2^5/2frac1(x-2)(x-3),mathrm dx+int_5/2^3frac1(x-2)(x-3),mathrm dx\&=lim_tto2^+int_t^5/2frac1(x-2)(x-3),mathrm dx+lim_tto3^-int_5/2^tfrac1(x-2)(x-3),mathrm dx.endalignNone of these limits exist, since the function that's being integrated behaves as $frac1x-3$ near $3$ and as $frac1x-2$ near $2$.
