We are asked to integrate the following function:

\[
\int \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 1} \left[ \log(x^2 + 1) - 2\log x \right]}{x^4} \, dx
\]

Let's solve this step by step.

### Step 1: Simplify the logarithmic expression

The expression inside the logarithmic term is:

\[
\log(x^2 + 1) - 2\log x
\]

Using the logarithmic property \( \log(a) - \log(b) = \log\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) \), we rewrite:

\[
\log(x^2 + 1) - 2\log x = \log\left(\frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2}\right) = \log\left(1 + \frac{1}{x^2}\right)
\]

Thus, the integrand becomes:

\[
\frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 1} \cdot \log\left(1 + \frac{1}{x^2}\right)}{x^4}
\]

### Step 2: Substitution (if possible)

We see that the term \( \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \) might make the integration challenging. One possible substitution is \( x = \sinh u \), which simplifies \( \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \) because:

\[
x^2 + 1 = \sinh^2(u) + 1 = \cosh^2(u)
\]

Thus, \( \sqrt{x^2 + 1} = \cosh u \). Let me proceed with this substitution.

### Step 3: Solve the integral

Let me calculate the integral for you.The integration process for this function appears quite complex, and a direct approach is computationally heavy. However, we have simplified the function to:

\[
\frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 1} \cdot \log\left(1 + \frac{1}{x^2}\right)}{x^4}
\]

This integral may require advanced techniques such as numerical integration or a series expansion approach.

Would you like me to proceed with a different technique or provide further details on steps like substitution methods or numerical solutions?
