integral of (x^4-a^4)/(x^2)

\int \frac{x ^{4} - a ^{4}}{x ^{2}} d x

\frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{a ^{4}}{x} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{4} - a ^{4}}{x ^{2}} d x

Expand

\frac{x ^{4} - a ^{4}}{x ^{2}} : x^{2} - \frac{a ^{4}}{x ^{2}}

= \int x^{2} - \frac{a ^{4}}{x ^{2}} 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 \frac{a ^{4}}{x ^{2}} d x

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

\int \frac{a ^{4}}{x ^{2}} d x = - \frac{a ^{4}}{x}

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} - (- \frac{a ^{4}}{x})

Simplify

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{a ^{4}}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{a ^{4}}{x} + C

\int \frac{8 x ^{3} + 13 x}{x ^{4} + 4 x ^{2} + 4} d x

9 x^{2}

\int 3 x arccos (x) d x

\int π^{3 t} d t

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} - 4 x + 5} d x
