Question

Evaluate the following.

`int 1/(x(x^6 + 1))` dx 

Evaluate

Solution

Let I = `int 1/(x(x^6 + 1))` dx

`= int x^5/(x^6(x^6 + 1))`dx

Put x6 = t

∴ 6x5 dx = dt

∴ `x^5 * dx = 1/6 * dt`

∴ I = `1/6 int dt/(t(t + 1))`

`= 1/6 int ((t + 1) - t)/(t(t + 1))` dt

`= 1/6 int (1/t - 1/(t + 1))` dt

= `1/6` [log | t | - log |t + 1|] + c

`= 1/6 log |t/(t + 1)|` + c

∴ I = `1/6 log |x^6/(x^6 + 1)|` + c
