How do you integrate (x^-2).(1+x^4)^-3/4

[Castdeath97]

You will use chain rule I guess

Chain rule is for differentiation

[getrekt]

I am getting an answer but none that makes sense

Not matching the options in the mcq test

It's called substitution rule my bad

Put x^2 as......?

Could I use u.v rule?

integral(u.v)dx = u.integral(v) - integral (du.(integral(v.dx)).dx)

What..how would that even work?

Tbh I would try partial fraction decomposition. Let me give this a try.

@T.Vengeance could this work?

I'm not too sure. I haven't done integrals in awhile, so it's hard for me to say which method would get you the answer first. My best guess is a combination of substitution and partial fraction decomposition. The UV rule normally just applies to more simple stuff.

Oh okay! I'll keep trying then!

Oooooh you were right. Use the uv rule.

[getrekt]

Thanks!

[T.Vengeance]

Thanks!

[getrekt]

Thanks a lot!
