I((3x^2+x+4)/((x^2+1)(x^2+2)),x)
I(3x^2/((x^2+1)(x^2+2)),x)+I((x+4)/((x^2+1)(x^2+2)),x)
from here i have used partial fractions with no luck

It is probably easier to use partial fractions right after you get to:

[tex]\int \frac{ 3x^2 + x+4}{(x^2+1)(x^2+2)} dx[/tex].

Please show us your working so we can tell you where you went wrong.
