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

integral

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

\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

2 x^{- 5}

\frac{( x + 2 )}{( x ^{2} + 2 )}

\frac{( z + 4 )}{( z ^{2} + 2 z + 5 )}

\frac{( 1 - cos ( x ) )}{x}

(3 x - 4)^{3}
