Homework Statement



\int_{y=-infinity}^{infinity} \int_{x=-infinity}^{infinity} (x^4+y^4)/(1+x^2+y^2)^4 dx dy

Homework Equations



i'm not sure what the new limits are after the transformation to polar coordinates and how to solve the integral.

The Attempt at a Solution



i have my new function of integration to be
(r^4*cos^4(theta)+r^4*sin^4(theta))/(1+r^2)^4 r dr d\theta

Use [*tex][/tex] when you want to have LaTeX (and remove the star).
