Question
Evaluate the following intregals:
$\int\frac{1}{\text{x}(\text{x}^4+1)}\ \text{dx}$

Answer

Let $\frac{1}{\text{x}(\text{x}^4+1)}+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{x}}+\frac{\text{Bx}^3+\text{Cx}^2+\text{Dx}+\text{E}}{\text{x}^4+1}$

$\Rightarrow1=\text{A}(\text{x}^4+1)+(\text{Bx}^3+\text{Cx}^2+\text{Dx}+\text{E})\text{x}$

$=(\text{A}+\text{B})\text{x}^4+\text{Cx}^3+\text{Dx}^2+\text{Ex}+\text{A}$

Equating similar terms, we get,

$\text{A}+\text{B}+0,\text{C}=0,\text{E}=0,\text{A}=1$

$\therefore\text{B}=-1$

Thus,

$\text{I}=\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}}+\int-\frac{\text{x}^3\text{dx}}{\text{x}^4+1}$

$=\log|\text{x}|-\frac{1}{4}\log|\text{x}^4+1|+\text{C}$

$\text{I}=\frac{1}{4}\log\Big|\frac{\text{x}^4}{\text{x}^4+1}\Big|+\text{C}$

A library has to accommodate two different types of books on a shelf. The books are 6 cm and 4 cm thick and weigh 1kg and $1\frac{1}{2}$ kg each respectively. The shelf is 96 cm long and at most can support a weight of 21kg. How should the shelf be filled with the books of two types in order to include the greatest number of books? Make it as an LPP and solve it graphically.
