### Integral of a Function Involving a Square Root and Polynomial
The integral we will evaluate is:
\[ \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{16 - x^4}} \, dx \]
This integral involves a rational function with a square root in the denominator. The presence of \(x^4\) under the square root suggests that a substitution may simplify the integral.
Approach:
1. Consider an appropriate substitution to simplify the integral.
2. Simplify and perform the integration.
3. Substitute back to return to the original variable, if necessary.
This integral is a good example for illustrating techniques involving substitutions and simplification of integrands containing square roots.
