You have to take into account that for $|x|<1$ is...

$\frac{x^{4}\cdot (1-x)^{4}}{1-x^{2}}= (1-x)^{4}\cdot (x^{4} + x^{6} + x^{8} + \dots)$

Kind regards

it's $\frac{x^{4}\cdot (1-x)^{4}}{1+x^{2}}$ not (1-x),,,,,,,,,

Very sorry!(Crying)...

... in such a case is...

$\frac{x^{4}\cdot (1-x)^{4}}{1+x^{2}}= (1-x)^{4}\cdot (x^{4} - x^{6} + x^{8} -...)$, $|x|<1$

Kind regards

It seems that you're not expected to use a) to evaluate the integral. The simplest way anyway is probably to expand the numerator, and perform the Euclidian division of $X^4(1-X)^4$ by $1+X^2$ (like with integers, you know?), and get something like $X^4(1-X)^4=Q(X)(1+X^2)+aX+b$ hence your integral equals $\int_0^1 Q(x)dx + a\int_0^1 \frac{x}{1+x^2}dx + b\int_0^1\frac{dx}{1+x^2}$. The first term is easy, the second term has antiderivative $\frac{1}{2}\log(1+x^2)$, and the third one relates to arctan.

For the second part, you probably have to write $1\leq 1+x^2\leq 2$ hence $\frac{1}{2}x^4(1-x)^4\leq \frac{x^4(1-x)^4}{1+x^2}\leq x^4(1-x)^4$ and integrate.

but i still dont understand your point...
how does it help to solve the integral..?

thank u very much ,
this is a straightforward method....
are there any ways of combining result of (a) to solve it quickly...?

they are not from books....just from my tutorial notes...

anyway, i have solved it.

thanks for help , guys...(Hi)
