Question:

$\int \frac{2}{x^4-1} d x=$

Options:

$\log \left|\frac{x^2-1}{x^2+1}\right|+C$

$2 \tan ^{-1}\left(x^2\right)+C$

$\frac{1}{2} \log \left|\frac{\mathrm{x}-1}{\mathrm{x}+1}\right|-\tan ^{-1} \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{C}$

$\tan ^{-1} \mathrm{x}+\frac{1}{2} \log \left|\frac{\mathrm{x}-1}{\mathrm{x}+1}\right|+\mathrm{C}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} \log \left|\frac{\mathrm{x}-1}{\mathrm{x}+1}\right|-\tan ^{-1} \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{C}$

Explanation:

$\int(\frac{1}{x^2-1}-\frac{1}{x^2+1})dx$

So, $\frac{1}{2}log|\frac{x-1}{x+1}|-tan^{-1}x+C$

So, option 3 is correct.
