Step-by-step explanation:
*Note:
The problem is too big to fit all work. I will assume that you know how to do basic calculus.
Step 1: Define
Identify given.
[tex]\displaystyle \int {x^{-11}(1 + x^4)^\Big{- \frac{1}{2}}} \, dx[/tex]
Step 2: Integrate Pt. 1
Step 3: Integrate Pt. 2
Identify variables for u-substitution/u-solve.
Step 4: Integrate Pt. 3
Start solving the integral using u-solve:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\int {x^{-11}(1 + x^4)^\Big{- \frac{1}{2}}} \, dx & = \int {\frac{1}{x^{11}\sqrt{x^4 + 1}}} \, dx \\& = \int {\frac{1}{2u^6 \sqrt{u^2 + 1}}} \, du \\& = \frac{1}{2} \int {\frac{1}{u^6 \sqrt{u^2 + 1}}} \, du \\\end{aligned}[/tex]
Step 5: Integrate Pt. 4
Identify variables for trigonometric substitution.
Step 6: Integrate Pt. 5
Let's focus on just the integral itself. Apply the Trigonometric Substitution Integration Method and other basic integration techniques listed under "Calculus":
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\int {\frac{1}{u^6 \sqrt{u^2 + 1} }} \, du & = \int {\frac{\sec^2 v}{\tan^6 v \sqrt{\tan^2 v + 1} }} \, dv \\& = \int {\frac{\sec v}{\tan^6 v}} \, dv \\& = \int {\cot v \csc v (\csc^2 v - 1)^2} \, dv \\\end{aligned}[/tex]
Step 7: Integrate Pt. 6
Identify variables for u-substitution/u-solve again.
Use another variable besides u to avoid confusion with earlier substitutions:
Step 8: Integrate Pt. 7
Reduce the integral using the U-Solve Integration Method and other basic integration techniques listed under "Calculus":
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\int {\frac{1}{u^6 \sqrt{u^2 + 1} }} \, du & = \int {\frac{\sec^2 v}{\tan^6 v \sqrt{\tan^2 v + 1} }} \, dv \\& = \int {\frac{\sec v}{\tan^6 v}} \, dv \\& = \int {\cot v \csc v (\csc^2 v - 1)^2} \, dv \\& = \int {-(w^2 - 1)^2} \, dw \\& = - \int {(w^2 - 1)^2} \, dw \\& = - \int {\bigg( w^4 - 2w^2 + 1 \bigg)} \, dw \\\end{aligned}[/tex]
Step 9: Integrate Pt. 8
Solve the integral using basic integration techniques listed under "Calculus":
[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned}- \int {\bigg( w^4 - 2w^2 + 1 \bigg)} \, dw & = - \Bigg[ \int {w^4} \, dx - \int {2w^2} \, dx + \int {} \, dx \Bigg] \\& = - \Bigg[ \int {w^4} \, dx - 2 \int {w^2} \, dx + \int {} \, dx \Bigg] \\& = - \Bigg[ \frac{w^5}{5} - \frac{2w^3}{3} + w + C \Bigg] \\& = - \frac{w^5}{5} + \frac{2w^3}{3} - w + C \\& = - \frac{\csc^5 v}{5} + \frac{2\csc^3 v}{3} - \csc v + C \\\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned}- \int {\bigg( w^4 - 2w^2 + 1 \bigg)} \, dw & = - \frac{(u^2 + 1)^\Big{\frac{5}{2}}}{5u^5} + \frac{2(u^2 + 1)^\Big{\frac{3}{2}}}{3u^3} - \frac{\sqrt{u^2 + 1}}{u} + C \\\end{aligned}[/tex]
Step 10: Integrate Pt. 9
Let's substitute our integral value into our integral from "Step 4":
[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2} \int {\frac{1}{u^6 \sqrt{u^2 + 1}}} \, du & = - \frac{(u^2 + 1)^\Big{\frac{5}{2}}}{10u^5} + \frac{(u^2 + 1)^\Big{\frac{3}{2}}}{3u^3} - \frac{\sqrt{u^2 + 1}}{2u} + C \\& = - \frac{(x^4 + 1)^\Big{\frac{5}{2}}}{10x^{10}} + \frac{(x^4 + 1)^\Big{\frac{3}{2}}}{3x^6} - \frac{\sqrt{x^4 + 1}}{2x^2} + C \\& = \boxed{ - \frac{\sqrt{x^4 + 1}(8x^8 - 4x^4 + 3)}{30x^{10}} + C } \\\end{aligned}[/tex]
∴ we have found the indefinite integral.
