That's way better than my intended solution, great job Jatin! :)
My solution uses differentiation under the integral symbol.
Consider the following:
∫ 0 ∞ a 3 + x 3 d x = 3 3 a 2 2 π
Differentiate four times to obtain the answer.

Could you add your solution? I like the "differentiate under the integral" method, which isn't often used.
Consider the integral:
∫ 0 ∞ a 3 + x 3 d x
To evaluate the above, one can use partial fraction decomposition, however, I present a different approach. Use the substitution x 3 = a 3 t to obtain:
∫ 0 ∞ a 3 + x 3 d x = 3 a 2 1 ∫ 0 ∞ 1 + t t − 2 / 3 d t = 3 3 a 2 2 π
where I used the result I proved in the following problem: Twelve? Ain't Nobody got time for that! Part 2
Differentiate wrt a four times to get:
(I show each of the derivatives)
∫ 0 ∞ ( a 3 + x 3 ) 2 3 a 2 d x = 3 3 a 3 4 π ⇒ ∫ 0 ∞ ( a 3 + x 3 ) 2 d x = 9 3 a 5 4 π
⇒ ∫ 0 ∞ ( a 3 + x 3 ) 3 6 a 2 d x = 9 3 a 6 2 0 π ⇒ ∫ 0 ∞ ( a 3 + x 3 ) 3 d x = 2 7 3 a 8 1 0 π
⇒ ∫ 0 ∞ ( a 3 + x 3 ) 4 9 a 2 d x = 2 7 3 a 9 8 0 π ⇒ ∫ 0 ∞ ( a 3 + x 3 ) 4 d x d x = 2 4 3 3 a 1 1 8 0 π
Finally differentiating once more,
⇒ ∫ 0 ∞ ( a 3 + x 3 ) 5 1 2 a 2 = 2 4 3 3 a 1 2 8 8 0 π ⇒ ∫ 0 ∞ ( a 3 + x 3 ) 5 d x = 7 2 9 3 a 1 4 2 2 0 π
Substituting a = 1 , hence, the final answer is:
∫ 0 ∞ ( 1 + x 3 ) 5 d x = 7 2 9 3 2 2 0 π
@Pranav Arora , I did it the same way & ended up with that final expression, wolfram alphaed it & BAM! You Solved It! :D
So I used a contour integral around the path from 0 to ∞ , then around 1 2 0 degrees, then back down to the origin. If I is the integral, this gives ( 1 − ω ) I = 2 π i R e s − w 2 ( z 3 + 1 ) 5 1 where ω = e x p ( 2 π i / 3 ) .
Computing the residue involves taking four derivatives of ( z + 1 ) 5 ( z + ω ) 5 1 and evaluating at − ω 2 , so I'll cop to using some computer assistance there. At any rate, I got a residue of 7 2 9 1 1 0 ω 2 , which led to the same answer as everyone else: 2 1 8 7 2 2 0 π 3 .
I used contour integration too- but like the differentiation under the integral!
Substitute x = t 3 1 to get the answer as 3 1 B ( 3 1 , 3 1 4 )
We used the definition of beta function as B ( m , n ) = ∫ 0 ∞ ( 1 + x ) m + n x n − 1 d x
Now using the following properties :-
B ( m , n ) = Γ ( m + n ) Γ ( n ) Γ ( m )
Γ ( n + 1 ) = n Γ ( n )
Γ ( n ) Γ ( 1 − n ) = sin ( n π ) π
We have our answer as
3 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 3 1 1 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 2 Γ ( 5 ) Γ ( 3 1 ) Γ ( 3 2 )
Evaluating this we get 3 7 3 6 6 0 π as our answer.
Well, @Pranav Arora We can also do this using Beta Function.......... Simply substitute x raised to the power 1.5 as Tan(t) and then solve it........!!

Use reduction formula.
Let I m , n = ∫ 0 ∞ ( x m + 1 ) − n d x
Use, By parts, taking d x as second function to get:
I m , n = ∫ 0 ∞ m n x m ( x m + 1 ) − ( n + 1 ) d x
⇒ I m , n = ∫ 0 ∞ m n ( 1 + x m − 1 ) ( x m + 1 ) − ( n + 1 ) d x
⇒ I m , n = m n I m , n − m n I m , n + 1
⇒ I m , n + 1 = m n m n-1 I m , n
Hence, we get I 3 , 5 = 1 2 1 1 × 9 8 × 6 5 × 3 2 × I 3 , 1
⇒ I 3 , 5 = 2 4 3 1 1 0 ∫ 0 ∞ x 3 + 1 d x = 0 . 5 4 7 4
Note: You can find indefinite integral for ∫ x 3 + 1 d x and put limits 0 to infity. I leave it on you.
