integral of 1/(x(1+x^4))

\int \frac{1}{x ( 1 + x ^{4} )} d x

\frac{1}{4} (4 ln (x) - ln 1 + x^{4}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ( 1 + x ^{4} )} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{4 ( u - 1 ) u} d u

= \int \frac{1}{4 ( u - 1 ) u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{( u - 1 ) u} d u

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{( u - 1 ) u} : \frac{1}{u - 1} - \frac{1}{u}

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u - 1} - \frac{1}{u} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{1}{4} (\int \frac{1}{u - 1} d u - \int \frac{1}{u} d u)

\int \frac{1}{u - 1} d u = ln ∣ u - 1 ∣

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= \frac{1}{4} (ln ∣ u - 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = 1 + x^{4}

= \frac{1}{4} (ln 1 + x^{4} - 1 - ln 1 + x^{4})

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} (ln 1 + x^{4} - 1 - ln 1 + x^{4}) : \frac{1}{4} (4 ln (x) - ln 1 + x^{4})

= \frac{1}{4} (4 ln (x) - ln 1 + x^{4})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{4} (4 ln (x) - ln 1 + x^{4}) + C

\int 2^{1 - 2 x} d x

\int sec^{4} (θ) tan^{2} (θ) d θ

\int \frac{x}{( 1 + cos ( x ) )} d x

\int e^{(x^{2})^{2}} d (x^{2})^{2}

\int \frac{5 x}{1 + x ^{2}} d x
