Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 39–54.
∫ 1 / (x⁶(x⁵ + 4)) dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by rewriting the integral to clearly see the expression: \(\int \frac{1}{x^{6}(x^{5} + 4)} \, dx\).
Consider a substitution to simplify the integral. Notice that \(x^{5}\) appears inside the parentheses, so let \(u = x^{5} + 4\).
Differentiate \(u\) with respect to \(x\) to find \(du\): \(du = 5x^{4} \, dx\), which implies \(dx = \frac{du}{5x^{4}}\).
Rewrite the integral in terms of \(u\) and \(x\): substitute \(x^{5} + 4\) with \(u\) and \(dx\) with \(\frac{du}{5x^{4}}\). Also, express the remaining powers of \(x\) in terms of \(u\) if possible.
Simplify the integral after substitution and look for further algebraic manipulation or partial fraction decomposition to integrate with respect to \(u\).
