Please integrate with respect to x:

. . .int [(1+x^4)^1/4] dx

I ran this through Maple and it gave me:

\(\displaystyle \L\\x\text{hypergeom}\left(\begin{bmatrix}\frac{-1}{4}&\frac{1}{4}\end{bmatrix},\begin{bmatrix}\frac{5}{4}\end{bmatrix},-x^{4}\right)\)

Whatever that means.

In other words, one booger of an integral to do and not by elementary means.

Why do you think it can be done? Where did you get this problem? What have you tried?
