Answer

$\frac{1}{5}{(1+x^2)}^{\frac{5}{2}}-\frac{1}{3}{(1+x^2)}^{\frac{3}{2}}+C$ This answer is reasonable because $f(x)=F'(x)$ See image below

Work Step by Step

$\int x^3\sqrt{1+x^2}$ Substitute $\displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{ll} a=1+x^2, & a-1=x^2\\ & \\ \frac{da}{dx}=2x & \frac{da}{2x}=dx \end{array}\right]$ $I=\int x(a-1)\sqrt{a}\frac{da}{2x}\\ I=\int\frac{1}{2}(a-1)a^{\frac{1}{2}}da\\ I=\frac{1}{2}\int{(a^{\frac{3}{2}}-a^{\frac{1}{2}})da}\\ I=\frac{1}{2}{(\frac{2}{5}a^{\frac{5}{2}}-\frac{2}{3}a^{\frac{3}{2}})}+C\\ I=\frac{1}{5}a^{\frac{5}{2}}-\frac{1}{3}a^{\frac{3}{2}}+C\\ I=\frac{1}{5}{(1+x^2)}^{\frac{5}{2}}-\frac{1}{3}{(1+x^2)}^{\frac{3}{2}}+C$
