$\frac{1}{4}\log_e\left|\frac{x^4}{1-x^4}\right|+c$: where c is constant of integration. $-\frac{1}{4}\log_e\left|\frac{x^4}{1-x^4}\right|+c$: where c is constant of integration. $4\log_e\left|\frac{x^4}{1-x^4}\right|+c$: where c is constant of integration. $-4\log_e\left|\frac{x^4}{1-x^4}\right|+c$: where c is constant of integration. |
$\frac{1}{4}\log_e\left|\frac{x^4}{1-x^4}\right|+c$: where c is constant of integration. |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{1}{4}\log_e\left|\frac{x^4}{1-x^4}\right|+c$: where c is constant of integration. $\text{Integral to evaluate: }\displaystyle \int \frac{1}{x - x^5}\,dx$ $=\int \frac{1}{x(1 - x^4)}\,dx$ $=\int \frac{1}{x(1-x^2)(1+x^2)}\,dx$ Rewrite: $\frac{1}{x - x^5}=\frac{1}{x(1-x^4)} =\frac{1}{x}+\frac{x^3}{1-x^4}$ Integrate term-wise: $\int \frac{1}{x}\,dx = \ln|x|$ $\int \frac{x^3}{1-x^4}\,dx =\frac{1}{4}\ln|1-x^4|$ Combine: $\int \frac{1}{x-x^5}\,dx =\ln|x|-\frac{1}{4}\ln|1-x^4|+C$ Simplify: $=\frac{1}{4}\ln\left|\frac{x^4}{1-x^4}\right|+C$ The value of the integral is $\frac{1}{4}\ln\left|\frac{x^4}{1-x^4}\right|+C$. |
