Some people really try to learn something in here. Please don't troll so often, so we can help people to solve their questions...

 

My question is this;

Take the integral:
 integral (x^4+1)/(x+1) dx
For the integrand (x^4+1)/(x+1), do long division:
  =   integral (x^3-x^2+x+2/(x+1)-1) dx
Integrate the sum term by term and factor out constants:
  =  2 integral 1/(x+1) dx+ integral x^3  dx- integral x^2  dx+ integral x dx- integral 1 dx
For the integrand 1/(x+1), substitute u = x+1 and  du =   dx:
  =  2 integral 1/u du+ integral x^3  dx- integral x^2  dx+ integral x dx- integral 1 dx
The integral of 1/u is log(u):
  =  2 log(u)+ integral x^3  dx- integral x^2  dx+ integral x dx- integral 1 dx
The integral of x^3 is x^4/4:
  =  x^4/4+2 log(u)- integral x^2  dx+ integral x dx- integral 1 dx
The integral of x^2 is x^3/3:
  =  -x^3/3+x^4/4+2 log(u)+ integral x dx- integral 1 dx
The integral of x is x^2/2:
  =  x^2/2-x^3/3+x^4/4+2 log(u)- integral 1 dx
The integral of 1 is x:
  =  2 log(u)+x^4/4-x^3/3+x^2/2-x+constant
Substitute back for u = x+1:
  =  x^4/4-x^3/3+x^2/2-x+2 log(x+1)+constant
Factor the answer a different way:
  =  1/12 x (3 x^3-4 x^2+6 x-12)+2 log(x+1)+constant
Which is equivalent for restricted x values to:
Answer: |  =  1/12 (3 x^4-4 x^3+6 x^2-12 x+24 log(x+1)-25)+constant
