#1441 — RE: defining a integer greater than one

Hola Karina:

"How can I define n being greater than one before that integration?"

Please try: "Assuming[assum,expr]

evaluates expr with assum appended to $Assumptions, so that assum is included in the default assumptions used by functions such as Refine, Simplify and Integrate."

"In[1]:= Assuming[a > 0, {Refine[Sqrt[a^2]], Integrate[x^a, {x, 0, 1}]}]

Out[1]= {a, 1/(1 + a)}"

Text and example from HELP.

It would be practical to know the function whose integration purportedly failed.

Saludos,

How can I define n being greater than one before that integration. I can only achieve to make it an integer with the Element[] function. Thanks guys.
