calculus - Finding intiinftynftyfracx2x4+1;dx

x2x4+1dx




I'm trying to understand trigonometric substitution better, because I never could get a good handle on it. All I know is that this integral is supposed to reduce to the integral of some power of cosine. I tried x2=tanθ, but I ended up with sinθcos3θ as my integrand. Can someone explain how to compute this?
