Indefinite Integration

Question:

The integral $∫\frac{x^4+2}{x^2+1}dx $ is equal to

Options:

$\frac{1}{3}x^3-x+3tan^{-1}x+c,$ where c is a constant

$\frac{1}{3}x^3+x+3tan^{-1}x+c,$ where c is a constant

$\frac{1}{3}x^3+x-3tan^{-1}x+c,$ where c is a constant

$\frac{1}{3}x^3-x-3tan^{-1}x+c,$ where c is a constant

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}x^3-x+3tan^{-1}x+c,$ where c is a constant

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{1}{3}x^3-x+3tan^{-1}x+c,$ where c is a constant

$∫\frac{x^4+2}{x^2+1}dx$

so $∫\frac{x^4+2}{x^2+1}dx=\int x^2-1+\frac{3}{x^2+1}dx$

$=\frac{x^3}{3}-x+3\tan^{-1}x+C$ using long division
