Evaluating $\int_0^1 \sqrt{1 + x ^4 } \, d x $ $$
\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{\,1 + x^{4}\,}\,\,\mathrm{d}x
$$ 
I used substitution of tanx=z but it was not fruitful. Then i used $ (x-1/x)= z$ and
$(x)^2-1/(x)^2=z $ but no helpful expression was derived.
I also used property $\int_0^a f(a-x)=\int_0^a f(x) $
Please help me out

For an approximation, you could use a Padé approximant for the integrand. The simplest one would be
$$\frac{3 x^4+4}{x^4+4}=3-\frac{x+2}{x^2+2 x+2}+\frac{x-2}{x^2-2 x+2}$$
$$\int \frac{3 x^4+4}{x^4+4}\,dx=3x+\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{x^2-2 x+2}{x^2+2 x+2}\right)+\tan ^{-1}(1-x)-\tan ^{-1}(1+x)$$ So, using the given bounds, an approximation is 
$$\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{\,1 + x^{4}\,}\,\,dx \approx 3-\frac{\log (5)}{2}-\tan ^{-1}(2)\approx 1.08813$$
