Answer

$2 \tan^{-1} (2x) +\dfrac{4x}{(4x^2+1)}+C$

Work Step by Step

Let us consider $x = \dfrac{1}{2} \tan \theta $ and $dx= \dfrac{1}{2} \sec^2 \theta d \theta $ Now, the given integral becomes: $\int \dfrac{8( \dfrac{1}{2} sec^2 \theta)}{\sec ^4 \theta} d\theta=4\int cos^2 \theta d \theta $ Now, integrate: $2(\theta+\sin \theta \cos \theta) +C=2 \tan^{-1} (2x) +\dfrac{4x}{(4x^2+1)}+C$
