I prompted Wolfram Alpha with this integration problem: "integral of (4x^3)/(x^4-8)"
It returns a strange complex result, where it assumes the complex logarithm.![enter image description here](https://community.wolfram.com//c/portal/getImageAttachment?filename=Screenshot2023-06-26145628.png&userId=2944505)
Why does it do this instead of returning the more obvious real result of log(|x^4-8|)? All it is missing is the absolute value.
Am I missing something? I just wanted to report this incase it was an unexpected result. Thanks
