Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}\ln|x^{2}+1|-\frac{3}{2}\arctan(x))+\frac{1}{4}\ln|x^{2}+3|-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}\arctan(\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}))+C$

Work Step by Step

$x^{4}+4x^{2}+3$ can be factored: 1 and 3 multiplied give 3, and their sum is 4.... $\displaystyle \frac{x^{3}-2x^{2}+2x-5}{(x^{2}+1)(x^{2}+3)}=\frac{Ax+B}{x^{2}+1}+\frac{Cx+D}{x^{2}+3}$ $x^{3}-2x^{2}+2x-5=(Ax+B)(x^{2}+3)+(Cx+D)(x^{2}+1)$ $x^{3}-2x^{2}+2x-5=Ax^{3}+3Ax+Bx^{2}+3B+ Cx^{3}+Cx+Dx^{2}+D$ $x^{3}-2x^{2}+2x-5=(A+C)x^{3}+(B+D)x^{2}+(3A+C)x+(3B+D)$ $\left\{\begin{array}{l} A+C=1\\ 3A+C=2 \end{array}\right\}$, subtracting, $2A=1\displaystyle \Rightarrow A=\frac{1}{2},C=\frac{1}{2}$ $\left\{\begin{array}{l} B+D=-2\\ 3B+D=-5 \end{array}\right\}$, subtracting, $2B=-3\displaystyle \Rightarrow B=\frac{-3}{2},D=\frac{-1}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{x^{3}-2x^{2}+2x-5}{(x^{2}+1)(x^{2}+3)}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}x+\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)}{x^{2}+1}+\frac{\frac{1}{2}x+\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)}{x^{2}+3}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{x-3}{2(x^{2}+1)}+\frac{x-1}{2(x^{2}+3)}$ $\displaystyle \frac{x-3}{2(x^{2}+1)}=\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{2x}{(x^{2}+1)}-\frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{(x^{2}+1)}$ $\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{2(x^{2}+3)}=\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{2x}{(x^{2}+3)}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{x^{2}+(\sqrt{3})^{2}}$ $\displaystyle \int\frac{x^{3}-2x^{2}+2x-5}{x^{4}+4x^{2}+3}dx= $ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}\ln|x^{2}+1|-\frac{3}{2}\arctan(x))+\frac{1}{4}\ln|x^{2}+3|-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}\arctan(\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}))+C$
