Answer

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

Work Step by Step

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