I did the same thing in about as many steps as chrono.  Will post my steps from there.


EDIT:  Here are my steps to follow on...

code:

---

dy/dx = int( (x^4 + 2x^2 + 2 + 2/x^2 + 1/x^4)^1/2 )   what you had

y = (x^4 + 2x^2 + 2 + 2/x^2 + 1/x^4)^3/2              reversal of the chain rule
     3/2 * (4x^3 + 4x - 4/x^3 - 4/x^4)

y = (x^4 + 2x^2 + 2 + 2/x^2 + 1/x^4)^3/2             simplified somewhat
     6 * (x^3 + x - 1/x^3 - 1/x^4

see why I wanted to simplify it a bit.....
