Explanatory Answer

Dividing by x on both numerator and denominator
\\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1+x^{4}}{x^{2}}}})=\\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^{2}}+x^{2}}})
\\frac{1}{x^{2}}) + x2 ≥ 2
√[\\frac{1}{x^{2}})+x2] ≥ √2
\\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^{2}}+x^{2}}}) ≤ \\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})


The question is "For real x, the maximum possible value of \\frac{x}{√(1 + x^{4})}) is"

Hence, the answer is, "\\frac{1}{√2})"
