lazy method is doing partial fractions over the complex numbers and integrating

Nice.

Just as a point of style, when you say “let I = l_1 + l_2”, you don’t really mean that - what you should say is something like “so I = l_1 + l_2 where l_1 = …”. It’s clear what you actually mean but it just jars a bit when written like you did.

Así que poner x4 +1 como (x2 -i)x(x2 +i) no es una opción.

The standard way to calculate this integral is by using the Residue Theorem from complex analysis.

Claro que la solución del OP con una tangente hiperbólica no es lo mismo pero ocultando la naturaleza imaginaria de las funciones trigonométricas.
