$\int \frac{x^4+x^2+1}{x^2-x+1} \mathrm{~d} x$ is equal to
$\int \frac{x^4+x^2+1}{x^2-x+1} \mathrm{~d} x$ is equal to
- $\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^2}{2}+x+\mathrm{c}$, (where c is a constant of integration)
- $\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}+x+\mathrm{c}$, (where c is a constant of integration)
- $\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^2}{2}-x+\mathrm{c}$, (where c is a constant of integration)
- $\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}-x+\mathrm{c}$, ( where c is a constant of integration)
Solution
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{I} & =\int \frac{x^4+x^2+1}{x^2-x+1} \\ & =\int\left(\frac{x^2-x+1+x^4+x}{x^2-x+1}\right) \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\int \frac{x^2-x+1}{x^2-x+1} \mathrm{~d} x+\int \frac{\left(x^4+x\right)}{x^2-x+1} \mathrm{~d} x \\ & =\int 1 \mathrm{~d} x+\int \frac{x\left(x^3+1\right)}{x^2-x+1} \mathrm{~d} x \\ & =x+\int \frac{x(x+1)\left(x^2-x+1\right)}{\left(x^2-x+1\right)} \mathrm{d} x \\ & =x+\int\left(x^2+x\right) \mathrm{d} x=x+\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}+\mathrm{c}\end{aligned}$
