integral of 1/(x^4sqrt(x^2-16))

\int \frac{1}{x ^{4} x ^{2} - 16} d x

\frac{( x ^{2} + 8 ) x ^{2} - 16}{384 x ^{3}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{4} x ^{2} - 16} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int \frac{1}{256 sec ^{3} ( u )} d u

= \int \frac{1}{256 sec ^{3} ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{256} \cdot \int \frac{1}{sec ^{3} ( u )} d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \frac{1}{256} \cdot \int (1 - sin^{2} (u)) cos (u) d u

Apply u-substitution

: \int 1 - v^{2} d v

= \frac{1}{256} \cdot \int 1 - v^{2} d v

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}{256} (\int 1 d v - \int v^{2} d v)

\int 1 d v = v

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

= \frac{1}{256} (v - \frac{v ^{3}}{3})

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{256} (sin (arcsec (\frac{1}{4} x)) - \frac{sin ^{3} ( arcsec ( \frac{1}{4} x ) )}{3})

Simplify

\frac{1}{256} (sin (arcsec (\frac{1}{4} x)) - \frac{sin ^{3} ( arcsec ( \frac{1}{4} x ) )}{3}) : \frac{( x ^{2} + 8 ) x ^{2} - 16}{384 x ^{3}}

= \frac{( x ^{2} + 8 ) x ^{2} - 16}{384 x ^{3}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{( x ^{2} + 8 ) x ^{2} - 16}{384 x ^{3}} + C

\int x^{4} - 10 x^{2} + 25 d x

\int y sin (2 y) d y

\int sec^{13} (2 θ) tan^{3} (2 θ) d θ

\int \frac{1}{( y + 1 ) ln ( y + 1 )} d y

\int 5 (x^{4} + 5)^{5} + C d x
