If $\int \frac{d x}{x+x^7}=p(x)$ then, $\int \frac{x^6}{x+x^7} d x$ is equal to:

If $\int \frac{d x}{x+x^7}=p(x)$ then, $\int \frac{x^6}{x+x^7} d x$ is equal to:
  1. $\ln |x|-p(x)+c$
  2. $\ln |x|+p(x)+c$
  3. $x-p(x)+c$
  4. $x+p(x)+c$

Solution

$\int \frac{x^6}{x+x^7} d x=\int \frac{x^6}{x\left(1+x^6\right)} d x$ $=\int \frac{\left(1+x^6\right)-1}{x\left(1+x^6\right)} d x$ $=\int \frac{1}{x} d x-\int \frac{1}{x+x^7} d x$ $=\ln |x|-p(x)+c$
