Step-by-step explanation

x2-1dxx4+3x2+1tan-1x+1x+dxx4+3x2+1

1-1x2dxx+1x2+1tan-1x+1x+12x2+1-x2-1dxx4+3x2+1

Put tan-1x+1x=t

dtt+121+1x2dxx-1x2+5-121-1x2dxx+1x2+1

Put x-1x=y,x+1x=z

loget+12dyy2+5-12dzz2+1

=logetan-1x+1x+125tan-1x2-15x

-12tan-1x2+1x+C

α=1,β=125,γ=15,δ=-12

or α=1,β=-125,γ=-15,δ=-12

10(α+βγ+δ)=101+110-12=6
