To solve the integral 

\[
\int \frac{x^4 - 9x^3 + 3x^2 - 87x}{(x+1)(x^2+9)^2} \, dx
\]

we can approach this using partial fraction decomposition and then integrate each resulting term separately.

### Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. **Factor the denominator:**
   The denominator is already factored as \((x + 1)(x^2 + 9)^2\).

2. **Set up partial fractions:**
   We need to express the integrand as a sum of partial fractions. The general form would be:

   \[
   \frac{A}{x+1} + \frac{Bx + C}{x^2 + 9} + \frac{Dx + E}{(x^2 + 9)^2}
   \]

   We aim to find constants \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\), and \(E\) by solving for them.

3. **Solve for the constants:**
   We now equate the original expression to this sum of partial fractions:

   \[
   \frac{x^4 - 9x^3 + 3x^2 - 87x}{(x+1)(x^2+9)^2} = \frac{A}{x+1} + \frac{Bx + C}{x^2 + 9} + \frac{Dx + E}{(x^2 + 9)^2}
   \]

   Multiply both sides by \((x + 1)(x^2 + 9)^2\) to get rid of the denominator:

   \[
   x^4 - 9x^3 + 3x^2 - 87x = A(x^2 + 9)^2 + (Bx + C)(x+1)(x^2 + 9) + (Dx + E)(x+1)
   \]

   Now expand both sides and collect terms based on powers of \(x\) to solve for \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\), and \(E\).
