Homework Statement
[itex]\int_{0}^{8} \int_{y^{1/3}}^{2} \frac{1}{x^4+1} dxdy[/itex]
Homework Equations
Completing the square.
The Attempt at a Solution
This integral is disgusting. It literally took me 4 sheets of paper to do the partial fraction decomposition and then integrate the inner integral giving me an expression involving ln(compicated y expression) + ln(a number) + 1/2arctan(more garbage) + 1/2arctan(even more garbage).
Now I have an even more complicated integral to do and I have no clue how to approach it as I've never integrated arctan and integrating ln is nuts.
Any pointers on this one?
