What is the possible approach to integrate this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{ (x ^{2}+x+1) }{ \sqrt[4]{(x^{2}+1} }dx\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, what is my u? dv?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

at first thought, the poly would derive leaving the rest of it to integrate up

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but without an 2x to play with that might not be feasible

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if we rationalize the denominator ... could that work out any better?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{ (x ^{2}+x+1) }{ \sqrt[4]{(x^{2}+1)} }dx\] \[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{(x ^{2}+x+1)~(x^2+1)^{3/4}}{x^2+1}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiplying denominator by itself, including numerator... would it complicate further the equation?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it might ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

u = x^2 + 1 du = 2x dx \[\int\frac{ 2x(u+x) }{ \sqrt[4]{u} }du\] lol

try to work on this afterwards... got to work first... thanks for the assistance... :)
