complex analysis - Evaluating the improper integral intinfty0fracx2x10+1mathrmdx

I am trying to solve the following integral, but I don't have a solution, and the answer I am getting doesn't seem correct.



So I am trying to integrate this:




0x2x10+1dx



To integrate this, I want to use a contour that looks like a pizza slice, out of a pie of radius R. One edge of this pizza slice is along the positive x-axis, if that makes sense. Since z10+1 has 10 zeroes, the slice should only be one tenth of a whole circle. So let's call this contour C. Then:



Cz2z10+1dz=2πiRes(x2x10+1,eiπ/10) This is because this slice contains only one singularity. Furthermore:



Cz2z10+1dz=R0z2z10+1dz+Γz2z10+1dz



And then, by the M-L Formula, we can say that Γz2z10+1dz goes to 0 as R goes to infinity. Evaluating 2πi Res(x2x10+1,eiπ/10) I get πeiπ/5. Since this answer isn't real, I don't think this could be correct. What did I do wrong?
