Yesterday, I saw a definite integral here. That question is deleted now. I am writing it as indefinite integral ∫(2logexx+1−logex4−x)dx. I tried to solve this integral using substitution and integration by parts and thought more about it but didn't get the solution. I checked on WolframAlpha where it is showing the solution as 2Li2(−x)+Li2(x4)+logex(log(1−x4)+2log(x+1))+constant, where Lin(x) is the polylogairthm function.
Can anyone please explain how to know whether the solution of an indefinite integral can be written as elementary functions like trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic etc or not ? Is there any method for it ? Thank you.
