I faced two similar integrals today.
They are
$$\int\frac{1}{x^2(x^{2009}+1)^{ \frac{2008}{2009}}}dx$$
and $$\int\frac{1}{x^2(x^{2009}+1)^{ \frac{1}{2009}}}dx$$
No trigonometric substitution is working here.I tried almost all.What to do?
Moreover binomial expansion was perhaps possible but that would be really very ugly...
Edit: Oh and yes another one too which is nearly similar but I could'nt solve.
$$\int\frac{1}{{e^x}({e}^{2008x}+1)^{ \frac{2007}{2008}}}dx$$
Let $$I = \int\frac{1}{x^2(x^{2009}+1)^{\frac{2008}{2008}}}dx = \int\frac{1}{x^2\cdot x^{2008}(1+x^{-2009})^{\frac{2008}{2009}}}dx$$
Now Put $1+x^{-2009} = t\;,$ Then $\displaystyle x^{-2010}dx = -\frac{1}{2009}dt$
So $$I = -\frac{1}{2009}\int t^{-\frac{2008}{2009}}dt$$
For the second one:: $$I = \int\frac{1}{e^x(e^{2008x}+1)^{\frac{2007}{2008}}}dx\;,$$ Put $e^x=t\;,$ and $e^xdx=dt$
So we get $$I = \int\frac{1}{t^2(t^{2008}+1)^{\frac{2007}{2008}}}dt$$
