integral of (x^7)/(x^8+1)

\int \frac{x ^{7}}{x ^{8} + 1} d x

\frac{1}{8} ln x^{8} + 1 + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{7}}{x ^{8} + 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{8 u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{8} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{8} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{8} + 1

= \frac{1}{8} ln x^{8} + 1

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{8} ln x^{8} + 1 + C
