Here's my two attempts at a solution (photo attached - second photo is a little messy) - I tried a trig substitution and the u substitution and a following simplification.
I also looked through the past 5 months of "integration" related questions and couldn't find this particular question so if...
Hi,
I'm trying to solve ∫(x2-1)/(1+x2)*1/(1+x4)(1/2)dx
I'm apparently meant to get some non-complex result, the question suggests to use the substitution u2 = x2 + 1/x2
But I haven't gotten anywhere with this.
Any methods or suggestions (or the solution) would be much appreciated!
Thanks
