Answer

$$\tan^{-1}(\cos ^{2} x)+C$$

Work Step by Step

\begin{aligned} \int \frac{\sin 2 x}{1+\cos ^{4} x} d x&=\int \frac{2\sin x\cos x}{1+(\cos ^{2} x)^2} d x \end{aligned} Let $$ u=\cos^2 x \ \ \ \to \ \ du =2\cos x\sin xdx$$ \begin{aligned} \int \frac{\sin 2 x}{1+\cos ^{4} x} d x&=\int \frac{2\sin x\cos x}{1+(\cos ^{2} x)^2} d x\\ &=\int \frac{du}{1+u^2}\\ &=\tan^{-1}(u)+C\\ &=\tan^{-1}(\cos ^{2} x)+C \end{aligned}
