Solution

The integral is given as,

I= dx x( x 4 1 )

Multiply numerator and denominator by x 3 .

I= x 3 dx x 3 ×x( x 4 1 ) I= x 3 dx x 4 ( x 4 1 )

Assume x 4 =t

Differentiate the above with respect to t.

4 x 3 dx=dt x 3 dx= dt 4

Substitute the values in the integral.

I= 1 4 dt t( t1 )

Use rule of partial fraction to simplify it.

1 t( t1 ) = A t + B ( t1 ) 1=A( t1 )+Bt

Substitute t=0then,

A=1

Substitute t=1then,

B=1

Substitute the values and integrate,

I= 1 4 dt t + 1 4 dt ( t1 ) I= 1 4 [ log| t |+log| t1 | ]+C

By substituting x 4 for t, we get

I= 1 4 [ log| x 4 |+log| x 4 1 | ]+C I= 1 4 log| x 4 1 x 4 |+C
