integral of (x^4)/((1+x^2))

\int \frac{x ^{4}}{( 1 + x ^{2} )} d x

\frac{x ^{3}}{3} - x + arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{4}}{1 + x ^{2}} d x

Long division

\frac{x ^{4}}{1 + x ^{2}} : x^{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1}

= \int x^{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

= \int x^{2} d x - \int 1 d x + \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

\int x^{2} d x = \frac{x ^{3}}{3}

\int 1 d x = x

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = arctan (x)

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} - x + arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} - x + arctan (x) + C

\int sec (x) tan (x) cos (sec (x)) d x

\int 9 x 6 x - 3 d x

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{3 + x ^{3}} d x

\int \frac{1}{( x ^{2} - a ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

\int 8 x x^{2} + 1 d x
