Answer

\[\frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}(x^2)+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int \frac{x}{1+x^4}dx\] \[I=\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{2x}{1+(x^2)^2}dx\] Put \[t=x^2\;\;\Rightarrow \;\;dt=2x\:dx\] \[I=\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{dt}{1+t^2}\] \[I=\frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}(t)+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration \[\Rightarrow I=\frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}(x^2)+C\] Hence ,\[I=\frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}(x^2)+C\]
