Simplify $\left(\sqrt{1+x}\right)^4$ using the power of a power property: $\left(a^m\right)^n=a^{m\cdot n}$. In the expression, $m$ equals $\frac{1}{2}$ and $n$ equals $4$
$\int\frac{x^3}{\left(1+x\right)^{2}}dx$
Intermediate steps
$\int\frac{x^3}{1+2x+x^2}dx$

Gather the results of all integrals
$\frac{1}{2}x^2-2x+\frac{1}{x+1}+3\ln\left(x+1\right)$
10
As the integral that we are solving is an indefinite integral, when we finish integrating we must add the constant of integration $C$
$\frac{1}{2}x^2-2x+\frac{1}{x+1}+3\ln\left(x+1\right)+C_0$
