Find $$$\int \frac{1}{x^{4} - 5}\, dx$$$.

Perform partial fraction decomposition (steps can be seen »):

$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x^{4} - 5} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(- \frac{\sqrt{5}}{10 \left(x^{2} + \sqrt{5}\right)} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} + \frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)}\right)d x}}}$$

Integrate term by term:

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(- \frac{\sqrt{5}}{10 \left(x^{2} + \sqrt{5}\right)} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} + \frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)}\right)d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(\int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{10 \left(x^{2} + \sqrt{5}\right)} d x}\right)}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{10}$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x^{2} + \sqrt{5}}$$$:

$$\int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - {\color{red}{\int{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{10 \left(x^{2} + \sqrt{5}\right)} d x}}} = \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - {\color{red}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{5} \int{\frac{1}{x^{2} + \sqrt{5}} d x}}{10}\right)}}$$

Let $$$u=\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x$$$.

Then $$$du=\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x\right)^{\prime }dx = \frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} dx$$$ (steps can be seen »), and we have that $$$dx = \sqrt[4]{5} du$$$.

The integral becomes

$$\int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x^{2} + \sqrt{5}} d x}}}}{10} = \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5 \left(u^{2} + 1\right)} d u}}}}{10}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(u \right)}\, du = c \int f{\left(u \right)}\, du$$$ with $$$c=\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5}$$$ and $$$f{\left(u \right)} = \frac{1}{u^{2} + 1}$$$:

$$\int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5 \left(u^{2} + 1\right)} d u}}}}{10} = \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt{5} {\color{red}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}} \int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u}}{5}\right)}}}{10}$$

The integral of $$$\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1}$$$ is $$$\int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u} = \operatorname{atan}{\left(u \right)}$$$:

$$\int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u}}}}{10} = \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\operatorname{atan}{\left(u \right)}}}}{10}$$

Recall that $$$u=\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x$$$:

$$\int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left({\color{red}{u}} \right)}}{10} = \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left({\color{red}{\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x}} \right)}}{10}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20}$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}$$$:

$$- \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - {\color{red}{\int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x}}} = - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - {\color{red}{\left(\frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \int{\frac{1}{x + \sqrt[4]{5}} d x}}{20}\right)}}$$

Let $$$u=x + \sqrt[4]{5}$$$.

Then $$$du=\left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)^{\prime }dx = 1 dx$$$ (steps can be seen »), and we have that $$$dx = du$$$.

So,

$$- \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x + \sqrt[4]{5}} d x}}}}{20} = - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{u} d u}}}}{20}$$

The integral of $$$\frac{1}{u}$$$ is $$$\int{\frac{1}{u} d u} = \ln{\left(\left|{u}\right| \right)}$$$:

$$- \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{u} d u}}}}{20} = - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\ln{\left(\left|{u}\right| \right)}}}}{20}$$

Recall that $$$u=x + \sqrt[4]{5}$$$:

$$- \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{{\color{red}{u}}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x} = - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{{\color{red}{\left(x + \sqrt[4]{5}\right)}}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20}$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x - \sqrt[4]{5}}$$$:

$$- \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + {\color{red}{\int{\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{20 \left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)} d x}}} = - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + {\color{red}{\left(\frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \int{\frac{1}{x - \sqrt[4]{5}} d x}}{20}\right)}}$$

Let $$$u=x - \sqrt[4]{5}$$$.

Then $$$du=\left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)^{\prime }dx = 1 dx$$$ (steps can be seen »), and we have that $$$dx = du$$$.

The integral can be rewritten as

$$- \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x - \sqrt[4]{5}} d x}}}}{20} = - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{u} d u}}}}{20}$$

The integral of $$$\frac{1}{u}$$$ is $$$\int{\frac{1}{u} d u} = \ln{\left(\left|{u}\right| \right)}$$$:

$$- \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{u} d u}}}}{20} = - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} + \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} {\color{red}{\ln{\left(\left|{u}\right| \right)}}}}{20}$$

Recall that $$$u=x - \sqrt[4]{5}$$$:

$$- \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} + \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{{\color{red}{u}}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10} = - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} + \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{{\color{red}{\left(x - \sqrt[4]{5}\right)}}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5} x \right)}}{10}$$

Therefore,

$$\int{\frac{1}{x^{4} - 5} d x} = \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x - \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)}}{20} - \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}} x}{5} \right)}}{10}$$

Simplify:

$$\int{\frac{1}{x^{4} - 5} d x} = \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \left(\ln{\left(\left|{x - \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)} - \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)} - 2 \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}} x}{5} \right)}\right)}{20}$$

Add the constant of integration:

$$\int{\frac{1}{x^{4} - 5} d x} = \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \left(\ln{\left(\left|{x - \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)} - \ln{\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right| \right)} - 2 \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}} x}{5} \right)}\right)}{20}+C$$

$$$\int \frac{1}{x^{4} - 5}\, dx = \frac{\sqrt[4]{5} \left(\ln\left(\left|{x - \sqrt[4]{5}}\right|\right) - \ln\left(\left|{x + \sqrt[4]{5}}\right|\right) - 2 \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}} x}{5} \right)}\right)}{20} + C$$$A
