   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The integral is $\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{\tan x}{\sqrt2}\right)+\log|\tan^2x+2|+C$.

   Concept and Intuition

   Divide numerator and denominator by $\cos^2x$ to convert everything into $\tan x$, then substitute $t=\tan x$.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Dividing by $\cos^2x$: integrand $=\dfrac{(2\tan x+3)\sec^2x}{\tan^2x+2}$.
   2. Let $t=\tan x,\;dt=\sec^2x\,dx$: $\int\dfrac{2t+3}{t^2+2}\,dt$.
   3. Split: $\int\dfrac{2t}{t^2+2}dt=\log(t^2+2)$ and $\int\dfrac{3}{t^2+2}dt=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\tan^{-1}\dfrac{t}{\sqrt2}$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The integral equals $\frac13\left(1-\frac1{x^2}\right)^{3/2}+C$.

   Concept and Intuition

   The derivative of $1-\frac1{x^2}$ is $\frac2{x^3}$, which matches the $\frac1{x^3}$ factor outside the root, so a substitution linearizes the integral.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Let $u=1-\frac1{x^2}$.
   2. $du=\frac{2}{x^3}\,dx\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{x^3}=\frac{du}{2}$.
   3. $\int \frac{1}{x^3}\sqrt{1-\frac1{x^2}}\,dx=\int \sqrt u\,\frac{du}{2}=\frac12\cdot\frac{u^{3/2}}{3/2}$.
   4. $=\frac12\cdot\frac23 u^{3/2}=\frac13 u^{3/2}=\frac13\left(1-\frac1{x^2}\right)^{3/2}+C$. …

   Write $(x^4+1)^{3/4}=x^3(1+x^{-4})^{3/4}$, so

   $\int\frac{dx}{x^2(x^4+1)^{3/4}}=\int\frac{dx}{x^5(1+x^{-4})^{3/4}}.$ …
