Hint: %28x%5E2%2B1%29%5E4=%28x%5E2%2B1%29%5E2%28x%5E2%2B1%29%5E2. So try and expand %28x%5E2%2B1%29%5E2

Expand the binomial, (x^2+1)^4
---------------------------------
4C4*(x^2)^4 + 4C3*(x^2)^3 + 4C2*(x^2)^2 + 4C1*(x^2) + 4C0(x^2)^0
----------------------
= x^8 + 4x^6 + 6x^4 + 4x^2 + 1
----------------------
Cheers,
