Dear Ranjita,
The integration gives: x5/5 + ln((x^7)/(7) + lx)
1/(x^6+1) = (1/3)(1/(x^2+1)) + (2/3-x^2/3)/(x^4-x^2+1).
The next step is to factor
x^4-x^2+1 = (x^2-sqrt(3) x +1)(x^2+sqrt(3)+1)
and do partial fractions on
1/(x^4-x^2+1)
Sorry about that square root of three.
PS. A clever way to see the factorization is to write
x^4-x^2+1= (x^2+1)^2-3x^2
which is a difference of squares that is easily factored.
