integral of (sin(2x))/(1+sin^4(x))

\int \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{1 + sin ^{4} ( x )} d x

arctan (sin^{2} (x)) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{1 + sin ^{4} ( x )} d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )}{1 + sin ^{4} ( x )} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{cos ( x ) sin ( x )}{1 + sin ^{4} ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{u}{1 + u ^{4}} d u

Apply u-substitution

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( 1 + v ^{2} )} d v

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{1 + v ^{2}} d v

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{1 + v ^{2}} d v = arctan (v)

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (v)

Substitute back

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (sin^{2} (x))

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (sin^{2} (x)) : arctan (sin^{2} (x))

= arctan (sin^{2} (x))

Add a constant to the solution

= arctan (sin^{2} (x)) + C
