Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\log \frac{\left(x^3+1\right)}{x}+C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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