Most challenging one!!!
None

Evaluate
dx/([ 4](1+x4))
PS:One proper substitution then the problem is easy!!!

dx/([ 4](1+x4))
put x=sqroot(tanQ)
dx=1/2sqroot(tanQ)*sec^2Q.dQ
 
1/2 1/cosQsqroot(sinQ).dQ

we can do it like this also................
takin x common frm the root n tthen mul. num n deno by x^4.......then we get a simple form.....n by puttin 1+x^-4=t^2
we get a form which can b solved easily

I solved it by algebraic substitution and the answer is correct.But if someone can provide any other cool method then I will be grateful!!

just starting frm where i left
cool trigo method
dx/([ 4](1+x4))
dx/([ 4](1+x4))
put x=sqroot(tanQ)
dx=1/2sqroot(tanQ)*sec2Q.dQ
 
1/2 1/cosQsqroot(sinQ).dQ
multiply and divide by cosQ
1/2 cosQ/cosQ2sqroot(sinQ).dQ
now put sinQ=t
1/2dt/(1-t2)sqroot(t)
and integrate!!!!

hey KAB even then it is very LONG bcoz
now it is in form 1/Psqroot(Q)
where P is quadratic and Q is linear
so sorry no eXXXXXXXXXXxtra short method here

Check my method Shakir
Put 1+x4=x4y4
x4=1/(y4-1)
dx= -y3dy/x3(y4-1)2
So given integral is  -y3dy/[x4y(y4-1)2]= -y2dy/x4(y4-1)2  
= -y2dy/(y4-1)
So final answer is (1/2)[(1/2)log{(1+y)/(1-y)]-tan-1y}+c
So which one you think is shorter???

[ ][ ] dx/[ 4]1+x4
 
[ ][ ] dx/x[4 ]1+x-4
 
[ ][ ] x4dx/x5 [4 ]1+x-4
putting 1+x-4=t4
-4x-5dx=4t3dt
 
[ ][ ] t2dt/t4 - 1
n it can be solved further..................so howz this one???
