Answer

$$ \int_{0}^{1 / \sqrt{3}} \frac{t^{2}-1}{t^{4}-1} d t =\frac{\pi}{6} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} \int_{0}^{1 / \sqrt{3}} \frac{t^{2}-1}{t^{4}-1} d t &=\int_{0}^{1 / \sqrt{3}} \frac{t^{2}-1}{\left(t^{2}+1\right)\left(t^{2}-1\right)} d t\\ &=\int_{0}^{1 / \sqrt{3}} \frac{1}{t^{2}+1} d t \\ &=[\arctan t]_{0}^{1 / \sqrt{3}}=\arctan (1 / \sqrt{3})-\arctan 0 \\ &=\frac{\pi}{6}-0 \\ &=\frac{\pi}{6} \end{aligned}$$
