Homework Statement


integral:
[tex]\int\sqrt{ax^4+bx^2+c}\mbox{d}x[/tex]
normally its elliptic type but here its bisquare function - any ideas?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm pretty sure that it's still elliptic - so not much chance of a closed form solution. Out of curiousity, why did you post this in the precalculus forum?
 
sorry for long time waiting, i wasnt here for a moment.i think that "precalculus mathematics" is good subforum for this?if not, please explain why:D
 
Because it's calculus - an integral and all.
