asked 03/07/22∫(3x2+4x+4)/(x3+x)dx
I tried doing integration of rational functions by partial fractions but I end with ∫4/x dx + ∫(4x-1)/(x2+1)dx and I try doing integration of rational functions for ∫(4x+1)/(x2+x)dx but get the same ∫(4x+1)/(x2+x)dx as the answer. I don't know if I am doing it incorrectly or if I was suppose to use another technique.

For the answer you got, the first integral is 4ln lxl, The second integral can be written as 4x/(x2+1) - 1/(x2+1).
Integrating, we get 2ln(x2+1) - Arctanx
