Convergence of the taylor series of $\ln(1+x)$?

Show that $\lim\limits_{x\to N} R_N(x)$ does not exist for $1 \le x \le \infty$, given that $\lim\limits_{x\to N}$$R_N(x) = \lim\limits_{x\to N} \int_0^x \frac{(t-x)^N}{(1+t)^{(N+1)}} \,\mathrm{d}t$

Current Attempt:

  • Split function into $\int_0^1 R_N(x) \,\mathrm{d}x + \int_1^\infty R_N(x) \,\mathrm{d}x$
  • Focus on second half

From here I have an integral, but have no clue what to do with it to prove its convergence. Is there anything I am missing?
