Answer

$$\frac{-1}{2\left(x^{5}+x^{2}\right)^2}+c$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$\int \frac{5 x^{4}+2 x}{\left(x^{5}+x^{2}\right)^{3}} d x$$ Let $$u=x^{5}+x^{2} \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ du=(5x^4+2x^2)dx $$ then \begin{align*} \int \frac{5 x^{4}+2 x}{\left(x^{5}+x^{2}\right)^{3}} d x&= \int \frac{du}{u^3} \\ &=\frac{-1}{2u^2}+c\\ &=\frac{-1}{2\left(x^{5}+x^{2}\right)^2}+c \end{align*}
