Set up the integral: Set up the integral.We need to evaluate ∫01x4+1xdx.
Consider substitution: Consider substitution.Let u=x4+1, then du=4x3dx.However, we have xdx in the integral, not x3dx, so this substitution isn't directly applicable.
Evaluate the integral directly: Evaluate the integral directly.Since a simple substitution doesn't work, we evaluate the integral as it is:∫01x4+1xdx.This integral does not simplify easily with elementary functions and might require numerical methods or special functions for exact evaluation.
