(59) Decompose the rational function f (x) = into partial frac-

dx. (This is a tough problem that requires lots of work. If you like
x +1
integration work on it, otherwise forget it. Write x4 + 1 as (x2 + 1)2 − 2x2 .
Factorize and decompose into partial fractions. Change variables and finish.
You will get two logs and two arctangents).
