Answer

$\frac{1}{5}(x^2+1)^{5/2}-\frac{1}{3}(x^2+1)^{3/2}+C$

Work Step by Step

let u$=x^2+1$ then du=2x dx and $\frac{1}{2}du=xdx$ and $x^2=i-1$ thus =$\int x^3\sqrt{x^2+1}dx$ =$\int (u-1)\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{u}du$ =$\frac{1}{2}\int (u^{3/2}-\frac{2}{3}u^{1/2})du$ =$\frac{1}{2}[\frac{2}{5}u^{5/2}-\frac{2}{3}u^{3/2}]+C$ =$\frac{1}{5}u^{5/2}-\frac{1}{3}u^{3/2}+C$ =$\frac{1}{5}(x^2+1)^{5/2}-\frac{1}{3}(x^2+1)^{3/2}+C$
