Question: the value of the integral-whether it is complex or real.

I want to solve the int((y4+by2+c)-1/2,y)-x and find y=h(x), where b and c are constants s.t. c>b2/4. Maple gives me complex Jacobi elliptic function as a result. But I am not sure that this integral has complex value. Am I doing something wrong or the result is really a complex valued function? Thanks.

Indeed my main question is: Plot y=y(u) where we have these two relations: int((y4+by2+c)-1/2,y)=x and find y=h(x). Then evaluate int((h(x)-B)-1/2,x)=u and find x=g(u). By using these relations plot y=y(u). :)

Here B is an arbitrary constant, but if necessary we can define a value for it. All the variables and constants are real.

I hope I manage to express myself. Thanks again.
