State the residue theorem.

By considering

Cz1/2logz1+z2dz\oint_{C} \frac{z^{1 / 2} \log z}{1+z^{2}} d z

with CC a suitably chosen contour in the upper half plane or otherwise, evaluate the real integrals

0x1/2logx1+x2dx\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{1 / 2} \log x}{1+x^{2}} d x

and

0x1/21+x2dx\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{1 / 2}}{1+x^{2}} d x

where x1/2x^{1 / 2} is taken to be the positive square root.
