What is the function of distance if the function of velocity is f(t)=ln(t)/t(1-ln^4t)

The velocity is the derivative of distance, with respect
to time:


v = ds/dt


vdt =
ds


We'll integrate both
sides:


Int vdt = Int ds


Int
ln(t)dt/t(1-ln^4t) = s


We notice that if we'll re-write the
function, we'll have:


Int
[ln(t)/(1-ln^4t)]*(dt/t)


If we'll substitute ln t = u and
we'll differentiate, we'll get:


dt/t =
du


We'll re-write the integral, changing the
variable:


Int u
du/(1-u^4)


We'll write the ratio u/(1-u^4) as an algebraic
sum of elemntary fractions:


u/(1-u^4) =
u/(1-u)(1+u)(1+u^2)


u/(1-u)(1+u)(1+u^2) = A/(1-u) + B/(1+u)
+ (Cu+D)/(1+u^2)


We'll multiply the ratios from the right
side, so that w'ell obtain LCD.


u = A(1+u)(1+u^2) +
B(1+u^2)(1-u) + (Cu+D)(1-u^2)


u = A + Au^2 + Au + Au^3 + B
- Bu + Bu^2 - Bu^3 + Cu - Cu^3 + D - Du^2


The
correspondent coefficients from both sides have to be
equal:


 u = u^3(A-B-C) + u^2(A+B-D) + u(A-B+C) +
A+B+D


A-B-C=0 (1)


A+B-D=0
(2)


A-B+C=1 (3)


A+B+D=0
(4)


We'll add (1) +
(3):


A-B-C+A-B+C=1


We'll
combine and eliminate like terms:


2A-2B=1
(5)


We'll add (2) +
(4):


A+B-D+A+B+D=0


We'll
combine and eliminate like terms:


2A+2B=0
(6)


We'll add (5)+(6):


4A =
1


A =
1/4


We'll add (1) +
(2):


A-B-C+A+B-D=0


We'll
substitute A and we'll eliminate like terms:


1/2 - C - D =
0


C+D = 1/2 (7)


We'll add (3)
+ (4):


A-B+C+A+B+D=1


We'll
substitute A and we'll eliminate like terms:


1/2 + C+D =
1


C+D = 1 - 1/2


C+D =
1/2


We'll add (2) +
(3):


A+B-D+A-B+C=1


We'll
substitute A and we'll eliminate like terms:


1/2 + C - D =
1


C - D = 1 - 1/2


C - D = 1/2
(8)


We'll add (7) + (8):


2C =
1


C =
1/2


D =
0


B =
-1/4


The integrand will
become:


u/(1-u^4) = 1/4(1-u) - 1/4(1+u) +
u/2(1+u^2)


Int  udt/(1-u^4)=(1/4)Int du/(1-u) - (1/4)Int
du/(1+u)+(1/2)Int udu/(1+u^2)


Int 
udt/(1-u^4)=(1/4)ln|(1-u)/(+u)| +
(1/4)ln(1+u^2)+C


The expression of distance
is:


s =
(1/4)ln|(1-lnt)/(1+lnt)| + (1/4)ln[1+(ln t)^2]+C

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
