NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Miscellaneous Exercise Question 4

Evaluate \(\int \frac{1}{x^{2} \left(x^{4} + 1\right)^{\frac{3}{4}}}\, dx\).

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(- \frac{\sqrt[4]{x^{4} + 1}}{x}\) + C.
  1. Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
  2. Use u=1/x: the integrand transforms into −u³/(u⁴+1)^(3/4)du on x>0; alternatively differentiate the proposed real fourth-root quotient on either sign component.
  3. An antiderivative is F(x)=\(- \frac{\sqrt[4]{x^{4} + 1}}{x}\).
  4. Differentiate this expression to check that F′(x)=\(\frac{1}{x^{2} \left(x^{4} + 1\right)^{\frac{3}{4}}}\). Add an arbitrary constant C on each domain component.
