1. The problem is to find the indefinite integral of the function $$\frac{4}{4x} + x^3$$ with respect to $x$.
2. We can rewrite the function inside the integral as $$\frac{4}{4x} + x^3 = \frac{4}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{x} + x^3 = 1 \cdot \frac{1}{x} + x^3 = \frac{1}{x} + x^3$$.
3. The integral of a sum is the sum of the integrals, so:
$$\int \left( \frac{1}{x} + x^3 \right) dx = \int \frac{1}{x} dx + \int x^3 dx$$.
4. Recall the integral formulas:
- $$\int \frac{1}{x} dx = \ln|x| + C$$
- $$\int x^n dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C$$ for $n \neq -1$.
5. Applying these formulas:
$$\int \frac{1}{x} dx = \ln|x|$$
$$\int x^3 dx = \frac{x^{4}}{4}$$.
6. Therefore, the integral is:
$$\int \left( \frac{1}{x} + x^3 \right) dx = \ln|x| + \frac{x^{4}}{4} + C$$.
7. This is the final answer, where $C$ is the constant of integration.
