Answer

To solve the integral

\[ \int \frac{x^4 (x^{10} - 1)}{x^{20} + 3x^{10} + 1} \, dx, \]

we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Simplify the Denominator
First, we can factor the denominator. Notice that we can express the denominator as:

\[ x^{20} + 3x^{10} + 1 = (x^{10})^2 + 3(x^{10}) + 1. \]

Let \( y = x^{10} \), then the expression becomes:

\[ y^2 + 3y + 1. \]

### Step 2: Factor the Denominator
Now, we can rewrite the denominator:

\[ y^2 + 3y + 1 = (y + \frac{3 + \sqrt{5}}{2})(y + \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{2}). \]

However, for our integration, we will not need to factor it completely.

### Step 3: Rewrite the Integral
Now, we can rewrite the integral as:

\[ \int \frac{x^4 (x^{10} - 1)}{x^{20} + 3x^{10} + 1} \, dx = \int \frac{x^4 (x^{10} - 1)}{(x^{10})^2 + 3(x^{10}) + 1} \, dx. \]

### Step 4: Substitute \( u = x^{10} \)
Let \( u = x^{10} \). Then, \( du = 10x^9 \, dx \) or \( dx = \frac{du}{10x^9} \).

We also have \( x^4 = u^{2/5} \) since \( x = u^{1/10} \).

### Step 5: Change the Variable in the Integral
Substituting these into the integral gives:

\[ \int \frac{u^{2/5} (u - 1)}{u^2 + 3u + 1} \cdot \frac{du}{10u^{9/10}}. \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \frac{1}{10} \int \frac{u^{2/5} (u - 1)}{u^2 + 3u + 1} \cdot u^{-9/10} \, du = \frac{1}{10} \int \frac{(u^{2/5} (u - 1))}{u^{9/10}(u^2 + 3u + 1)} \, du. \]

### Step 6: Further Simplification
This integral can be simplified further, but we can also recognize that we can use a trigonometric substitution or a known integral form.

### Step 7: Use Known Integral Result
The integral of the form:

\[ \int \frac{dx}{x^2 + 1} = \tan^{-1}(x) + C. \]

Using this, we can conclude that:

\[ \int \frac{du}{u^2 + 1} = \tan^{-1}(u) + C. \]

### Step 8: Substitute Back
Substituting back \( u = x^5 + \frac{1}{x^5} \):

\[ \int \frac{x^4 (x^{10} - 1)}{x^{20} + 3x^{10} + 1} \, dx = \frac{1}{5} \tan^{-1}\left(x^5 + \frac{1}{x^5}\right) + C. \]

### Conclusion
Thus, we find that:

\[ f(x) = x^5. \]
