Answer

$\frac{1}{5}\ln|x^5+5x^3+5x|+C$

Work Step by Step

$\int\frac{x^4+3x^2+1}{x^5+5x^3+5x}dx$ = $\int\frac{x^4+3x^2+1}{x(x^4+5x^2+5)}dx$ = $\int\left(\frac{A}{x}+\frac{Bx^3+Cx^2+Dx+E}{x^4+5x^2+5}\right)dx$ $x^4+3x^2+1$ = $A(x^4+5x^2+5)+(Bx^3+Cx^2+Dx+E)x$ $x^4+3x^2+1$ = $A(x^4+5x^2+5)+(Bx^4+Cx^3+Dx^2+Ex)$ $1$ = $A+B$ $0$ = $C$ $3$ = $5A+D$ $0$ = $E$ $1$ = $5A$ $A$ = $\frac{1}{5}$, $B$ = $\frac{4}{5}$, $C$ = $0$, $D$ = $2$, $E$ = $0$ so $\int\frac{x^4+3x^2+1}{x^5+5x^3+5x}dx$ = $\int{\frac{1}{5}}\left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{4x^3+10x}{x^4+5x^2+5}\right)dx$ = $\frac{1}{5}(\ln|x|+\ln|x^4+5x^2+5|)+C_1$ = $\frac{1}{5}\ln|x^5+5x^3+5x|+C$
