Solve the indefinite integral of y=x^3/(x^4+1)

To calculate the indefinite integral, we'll use the
substitution method.


We'll note y =
f(x)


We'll calculate Integral of f(x) = y =
x^3/(x^4+1).


We notice that if we'll differentiate x^4+1,
we'll get 4x^3.


So, we'll note x^4+1 =
t


(x^4+1)'dx = dt


(4x^3)dx =
dt => (x^3)dx = dt/4


We'll re-write the integral in
the variable t:


Int  (x^3)dx/(x^4+1) = Int dt /
4t


Int dt / 4t= (1/4)*Int dt /
t


(1/4)*Int dt / t = (1/4)*ln t +
C


But x^4+1 =
t.


Int  (x^3)dx/(x^4+1) = (1/4)*ln(x^4+1) +
C, where C is a family of constants.

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...
