Answer

$-2\ln|x+1|+\ln|x^2+1|+2\tan^{-1}x+C$

Work Step by Step

$\int{\frac{4x}{x^{3}+x^{2}+x+1}}dx$ = $\int{\frac{4x}{(x^{3}+x^{2})+(x+1)}}dx$ = $\int{\frac{4x}{x^2(x+1)+(x+1)}}dx$ = $\int{\frac{4x}{(x^2+1)(x+1)}}dx$ = $\int\left({\frac{A}{x+1}+\frac{Bx+C}{x^2+1}}\right)dx$ $4x$ = $A(x^2+1)+(Bx+C)(x+1)$ $4x$ = $(Ax^2+A)+(Bx^2+Bx+Cx+C)$ $0$ = $A+B$ $4$ = $B+C$ $0$ = $A+C$ $A$ = $-2$, $B$ = $2$, $C$ = $2$ So $\int{\frac{4x}{x^{3}+x^{2}+x+1}}dx$ = $\int\left({-\frac{2}{x+1}+\frac{2x+2}{x^2+1}}\right)dx$ = $\int\left({-\frac{2}{x+1}+\frac{2x}{x^2+1}+\frac{2}{x^2+1}}\right)dx$ = $-2\ln|x+1|+\ln|x^2+1|+2\tan^{-1}x+C$
