View Full Version : Heavy integral
Try to solve this integral:
I=\int \frac{\sqrt{\sqrt{x^4+1}-x^2}}{x^4+1}\,{\rm dx}

Subbing x^2 =\sinh t will give you something like this
I=\int \frac{\sqrt{\coth t -1}}{\cosh t}{}dt
Feed it now to Mathematica. There's about 50% chances it will return a complicated expression in terms of elliptic integrals.
Nice substitution, I managed to solve it now.
Thanks

Apparently the integral is expressible in terms of elementary functions.
