(a) Decompose the expression x4−x3+2x2−3x+4x3+x2−x−1\frac{x^{4}-x^{3}+2x^{2}-3x+4}{x^{3}+x^{2}-x-1} into a polynomial part and a proper rational part. (b) Resolve the proper rational part into partial fractions. (c) Using the results of (a) and (b), find ∫x4−x3+2x2−3x+4x3+x2−x−1 dx.\int \frac{x^{4}-x^{3}+2x^{2}-3x+4}{x^{3}+x^{2}-x-1}\,dx.
