Theorem

$\ds \int \frac {x^3 \rd x} {x^4 + a^4} = \frac {\map \ln {x^4 + a^4} } 4 + C$


Proof

\(\ds \frac \d {\d x} x^4\) \(=\) \(\ds 4 x^3\) Primitive of Power
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \int \frac {x^3 \rd x} {x^4 + a^4}\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac 1 4 \ln \size {x^4 + a^4} + C\) Primitive of Function under its Derivative
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {\map \ln {x^4 + a^4} } 4 + C\) Absolute Value of Even Power‎
