When presenting a solution, it is easier to convince others when the reader can take a quick glance through it. Thus, formatting (especially with the equations) really helps. In this case, I made each equation to stand on a line, which was easier to read than the previous option of having the first four sentences squashed together.
Clever and nice!

Assume x + x 2 + 1 = z ⇒ z 1 = x 2 + 1 − x .
Differentiating we get that, d x d z = 1 + 2 x 2 + 1 2 x .
Note that z + z 1 = 2 x 2 + 1 and z − z 1 = 2 x
Therefore, d x d z = 1 + z + z 1 z − z 1 = 1 + z 2 + 1 z 2 − 1 = z 2 + 1 2 z 2 Now, after changing the limits, the integral becomes ∫ 1 1 + 2 z 2 z 2 z 2 + 1 d z Now, use the substitution z = y 2 and the the integral becomes, ∫ 1 1 + 2 2 y 2 2 y 4 ( y 4 + 1 ) d y = ∫ 1 1 + 2 y 2 ( y 4 + 1 ) d y The above integral is a trivial one from there!
