Answer

$2 \leq \int_{-1}^{1}\sqrt {1+x^{4}}dx \leq 2\sqrt 2$

Work Step by Step

$$-1 \leq x \leq 1$$ $$0 \leq x^{2} \leq 1$$ $$0^{2} \leq (x^{2})^{2} \leq 1^{2}$$ $$0 \leq x^{4} \leq 1$$ $$1 \leq 1+x^{4} \leq 2$$ $$\sqrt 1 \leq \sqrt {1+x^{4}} \leq \sqrt 2$$ $$1 \leq \sqrt {1+x^{4}} \leq \sqrt 2$$ Using the property $8$ it follows: $$1(1-(-1)) \leq \int_{-1}^{1}\sqrt {1+x^{4}}dx \leq \sqrt 2(1-(-1))$$ $$2 \leq \int_{-1}^{1}\sqrt {1+x^{4}}dx \leq 2\sqrt 2$$
