Answer

$F(1)-F(0)$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Based on the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, if $F(x)$ is an antiderivative of $f(x)$ on $[a,b]$, we have $\int_a^b f(x)dx=F(b)-F(a)$ Step 2. In the case of the exercise, we have $f(x)=\sqrt {1+x^4}$ and $F(x)$ is its antiderivative. Thus, we have $\int_0^1 f(x)dx=F(1)-F(0)$ (it seems that the antiderivative of $f(x)$ takes a complicated form, which is not required to solve by the exercise.)
