Evaluate ∫(√(x²+1) [ln(x²+1) − 2ln x])/x⁴ dx.

  • A. Complex integration, cannot be solved
  • B. Requires trigonometric substitution
  • C. Solved by substituting u = 1 + 1/x²
  • D. Solved by partial fractions

Answer: C) Solved by substituting u = 1 + 1/x²

Explanation: Rewriting integrand. √(x²+1)/x⁴ = (1/x³)√(1+1/x²). ln((x²+1)/x²) = ln(1+1/x²). Substitute u = 1+1/x² simplifies it greatly.
