\noindent {\bf Problem statement} Consider the following four integrals:

\medskip

\settabs 2 \columns

\+a) ${ \int_0^{\infty} {x \over {1+x^4}} \, dx}$
& b) ${ \int_0^{\infty} {{x^2} \over {1+x^4}} \, dx}$\cr

\medskip

\+c) ${ \int_0^{\infty} {{x^3} \over {1+x^4}} \, dx}$
&d) ${ \int_0^{\infty} {{x^4} \over {1+x^4}} \, dx}$\cr

\medskip

\noindent Which of these integrals converge? (Hint: compare to 
``pure'' powers of $x$.) Compute the exact value of at least
one of the convergent integrals.
