Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{3} x^3-x+3 \tan ^{-1} x+c\), where \(c\) is a constant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\int \frac{x^4+2}{x^2+1} d x = \int \frac{x^4-1+3}{x^2+1} d x\) \(= \int \frac{(x^2-1)(x^2+1)+3}{x^2+1} d x\) \(= \int \left( x^2-1 + \frac{3}{x^2+1} \right) d x\) \(\frac{1}{3} x^3-x+3 \tan ^{-1} x+c\)
