We can compute the integral:
K = Integral from 0 to infinity of dx/(x^4 + x^2 + 1)
as follows. The integrand is an even function of x, so we have:
2 K = Integral from minus infinity to infinity of dx/(x^4 + x^2 + 1)
We can evaluate this by considering the contour integral of dz/(z^4 + z^2 + 1) over the contour that starts at -R on the real axis and moves to R along the real axis and then we take a counterclockwise half circle with center the origin and radius R back to minus R. The contour will then enclose the poles in the upper half ...
