$${29 \int_0^1 (1-x^4)^7 \over 4\int_0^1 (1-x^4)^6}=?$$
The answer is most likely a integer although I am not sure .

Let $I_1 =\displaystyle\int^1_0(1-x^4)^7\, \mathrm d x$ and $I_2 =\displaystyle\int^1_0(1-x^4)^6\, \mathrm d x$

Integrate the numerator using integration by parts:
\begin{align}
\require{cancel} I_1 =\int^1_01\cdot(1-x^4)^7 \mathrm d x&= \cancelto{0}{x(1-x^4)^7\big]^1_0} -\int^1_0x\cdot(-4x^3)\cdot7(1-x^4)^6\,\mathrm d x \\
&= 28\int^1_0x^4(1-x^4)^6\, \mathrm d x\\
&= -28\int^1_0(\color{red}{1-x^4}-1)(1-x^4)^6\,\mathrm d x \\
I_1&= -28\underset{I_1}{\underbrace{\int^1_0\color{red}{(1-x^4)}(1-x^4)^6\,\mathrm d x}}+28\underset{I_2}{\underbrace{\int^1_0(1-x^4)^6\,\mathrm d x}} \\
you need to hit see full test to see the whole thing render.. All the question of this form can be done using this same method. Integ by part on numerator and then finding a relation between numerator and denominator.

@HrishabhNayal what's with this question...where did you get it? In the last 24 hours, I have seen this question being asked by a Fiitjeeian, Vmcian, Allen... where's the source?
