Let
u=tan−1(x3+x31).
Then the integral becomes of the form
∫uu′dx,
so we first compute u′.

Differentiate the inner function:
dxd(x3+x31)=3x2−x43=3(x2−x41)=x43(x6−1).
Hence,
u′=1+(x3+x31)21⋅x43(x6−1).
- Simplify the denominator:
= x^6+3+\frac{1}{x^6}.$$
So,
$$u' = \frac{3(x^6-1)}{x^4\left(x^6+3+\frac{1}{x^6}\right)}.$$
Multiply numerator and denominator by $x^6$:
$$u' = \frac{3x^2(x^6-1)}{x^{12}+3x^6+1}.$$
Now,
$$3x^2(x^6-1)=3(x^8-x^2),$$
therefore
$$u' = \frac{3(x^8-x^2)}{x^{12}+3x^6+1}.$$
4. Substitute into the given integral:
$$I=\int \frac{(x^8-x^2)\,dx}{(x^{12}+3x^6+1)\tan^{-1}\left(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}\right)}.$$
Using the expression for $u'$, we get
$$\frac{x^8-x^2}{x^{12}+3x^6+1}=\frac{1}{3}u'.$$
Thus,
$$I=\frac{1}{3}\int \frac{u'}{u}\,dx.$$
5. Integrate:
$$I=\frac{1}{3}\ln|u|+C
=\frac{1}{3}\ln\left|\tan^{-1}\left(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}\right)\right|+C.$$
Using log property,
$$\frac{1}{3}\ln|u|=\ln|u|^{1/3}.$$
So,
$$I=\ln\left(\left|\tan^{-1}\left(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}\right)\right|^{1/3}\right)+C.$$
