Find $$$\int \frac{x^{n - 1}}{x^{2 n} + 1}\, dx$$$.
Solution
This integral does not have a closed form:
$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{x^{n - 1}}{x^{2 n} + 1} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\frac{x^{n} {{}_{2}F_{1}\left(\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2}, 1 \\ \frac{3}{2} \end{matrix}\middle| {- x^{2 n}} \right)}}{n}}}$$
Therefore,
$$\int{\frac{x^{n - 1}}{x^{2 n} + 1} d x} = \frac{x^{n} {{}_{2}F_{1}\left(\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2}, 1 \\ \frac{3}{2} \end{matrix}\middle| {- x^{2 n}} \right)}}{n}$$
Simplify:
$$\int{\frac{x^{n - 1}}{x^{2 n} + 1} d x} = \frac{\operatorname{atan}{\left(x^{n} \right)}}{n}$$
Add the constant of integration:
$$\int{\frac{x^{n - 1}}{x^{2 n} + 1} d x} = \frac{\operatorname{atan}{\left(x^{n} \right)}}{n}+C$$
Answer
$$$\int \frac{x^{n - 1}}{x^{2 n} + 1}\, dx = \frac{\operatorname{atan}{\left(x^{n} \right)}}{n} + C$$$A
