![**Question 9**
Use this partial fraction decomposition*:
\[
\frac{4 - 8x}{x^4 - 1} = \frac{-1}{x - 1} - \frac{3}{x + 1} + \frac{4x - 2}{x^2 + 1}
\]
to help you evaluate
\[
\int \frac{4 - 8x}{x^4 - 1} \, dx
\]
On your own paper:
1. Carefully copy this integral.
2. Evaluate the integral, showing all steps; write neatly and dark enough so your work is readable.
3. When finished, scan your paper—using either a scanner or a scan app on your smartphone—and upload the scan to Canvas.
