Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Find the integral int((x^4)/(x^4-2x^2+1))dx. The trinomial x^4-2x^2+1 is a perfect square trinomial, because it's discriminant is equal to zero. Using the perfect square trinomial formula. Factoring the perfect square trinomial. We can solve the integral \int\frac{x^4}{\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{2}}dx by applying integration by substitution method (also called U-Substitution). First, we must identify a section within the integral with a new variable (let's call it u), which when substituted makes the integral easier. We see that x^{2} it's a good candidate for substitution. Let's define a variable u and assign it to the choosen part.
