Learn how to solve integrals of rational functions problems step by step online. Find the integral int((x^4+8x^2+8)/(x^3-4x))dx. Divide x^4+8x^2+8 by x^3-4x. Resulting polynomial. Expand the integral \int\left(x+\frac{12x^{2}+8}{x^3-4x}\right)dx into 2 integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately. The integral \int xdx results in: \frac{1}{2}x^2.
Solving a math problem using different methods is important because it enhances understanding, encourages critical thinking, allows for multiple solutions, and develops problem-solving strategies. Read more
