Apr 30 at 4:30 comment added Bill Watts I think you are right about the integral, because I can't reproduce my results from yesterday. I may have had the value a assigned without realizing it.
Apr 30 at 2:30 comment added Steve237 oh mine's 12.1.1.0 -- didn't realize that makes a difference! (They have improved it that much? wow) However I tried with different x^a powers, like 2,3, 4,5,6 ...and each yields a different looking result! Try it!
Apr 30 at 2:27 comment added Bill Watts With v14, I got a solution for the indefinite integral.
Apr 30 at 2:23 comment added Steve237 @Bill Watts: I tried that (with a) but it just spits out the same input for me with the Integral sign! lol
Apr 29 at 1:54 comment added Bob Hanlon int = RootApproximant[NIntegrate[1/((1 + x^2015) (1 + x^2)), {x, 0, Infinity}] / Pi] * Pi evaluates to Pi/4
Apr 29 at 0:38 comment added Nasser fyi, I tried this on few other CAS systems (Maple, Fricas, Rubi, Mupad) and none of them can do it.

Apr 28 at 22:10 comment added Goofy Not complicated? There are 2,017 poles....1,009 real factors...It may not be complicated, but it's quite a large computation. For instance, this quits after 4 sec: MemoryConstrained[Integrate[1/((1 + x^2015) (1 + x^2)), {x, 0, 1, Infinity}], 10^7]
Apr 28 at 21:30 comment added Steve237 The graphs or all other powers look different, so I am sure there is a mathematical way of proving the area is preserved, independent of the exponent.
Apr 28 at 21:23 comment added Steve237 Naturally - is there a way to solve the original one
Apr 28 at 21:22 comment added JimB But if your original Integrate returned $\pi/4$, would you consider that a proof?
Apr 28 at 21:09 comment added Steve237 Yes it's always Pi/4, however it's not a proof for the original question

Apr 28 at 21:07 comment added azerbajdzan Try to replace 2015 with some small number and then some other small number...
Apr 28 at 21:05 comment added Steve237 Thanks, but how? ...
Apr 28 at 21:02 comment added azerbajdzan $\frac{\pi }{4}$
