Question
Integrate the rational function $\frac{\left(x^{2}+1\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)\left(x^{2}+4\right)}$

Answer

We have, $\frac{\left(x^{2}+1\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)\left(x^{2}+4\right)}=1-\frac{\left(4 x^{2}+10\right)}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)\left(x^{2}+4\right)}$ 
Let $\frac{\left(4 x^{2}+10\right)}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)\left(x^{2}+4\right)}=\frac{A x+B}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)}+\frac{C x+D}{\left(x^{2}+4\right)}$ 
4x2 + 10 = (Ax + B)(x2 + 4) + (Cx + D)(x2 + 3)
⇒ 4x2 + 10 = Ax3 + 4Ax + Bx2 + 4B + Cx3 + 3Cx + Dx2 + 3D
⇒ 4x2 + 10 = (A+C)x3 + (B + D)x2 + (4A + 3C)x + (4B + 3D)
Equating the coefficients of x3, x2, x and constant term, we get,
A + C = 0
B + D = 0
4A + 3C = 0
4B + 3 B = 0
On solving these equations, we get,
A = 0, B = -2, C = 0 and D = 6
Therefore,
$\frac{\left(4 x^{2}+10\right)}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)\left(x^{2}+4\right)}=\frac{-2}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)}+\frac{6}{\left(x^{2}+4\right)}$ 
$\frac{\left(x^{2}+1\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)\left(x^{2}+4\right)}=1-\left(\frac{-2}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)}+\frac{6}{\left(x^{2}+4\right)}\right)$ 
$\int \frac{\left(x^{2}+1\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)\left(x^{2}+4\right)} d x=\int\left\{1+\frac{2}{\left(x^{2}+3\right)}-\frac{6}{\left(x^{2}+4\right)}\right\} d x$ 
= $\left\{1+\frac{2}{x^{2}+(\sqrt{3})^{2}}-\frac{6}{\left(x^{2}+2^{2}\right)}\right\}$ 
= $x+2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}\right)-6\left(\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1} \frac{x}{2}\right)+C$ 
= $x+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}-3 \tan ^{-1} \frac{x}{2}+C$
