Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we start with the functions given:

1. **Define the function**:
\[ f(x) = \frac{x}{(1 + x^4)^{1/4}} \]
and
\[ g(x) = f(f(f(f(x)))). \]

2. **Calculate \( g(x) \)**:
We need to find \( g(x) \) by applying \( f \) four times. However, to simplify our calculations, we will analyze the behavior of \( f(x) \).

First, we compute \( f(f(x)) \):
\[ f(f(x)) = f\left(\frac{x}{(1 + x^4)^{1/4}}\right). \]
This will involve substituting \( \frac{x}{(1 + x^4)^{1/4}} \) into the function \( f \).

Continuing this process, we will eventually find that:
\[ g(x) = f(f(f(f(x)))) = \frac{x}{(1 - 2x^4)^{1/4}}. \]

3. **Set up the integral**:
We need to evaluate the integral:
\[ \int_0^{\sqrt{2\sqrt{5}}} x^2 g(x) \, dx = \int_0^{\sqrt{2\sqrt{5}}} x^2 \cdot \frac{x}{(1 - 2x^4)^{1/4}} \, dx. \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \int_0^{\sqrt{2\sqrt{5}}} \frac{x^3}{(1 - 2x^4)^{1/4}} \, dx. \]

4. **Substitution**:
Let \( t = 2x^4 \), then \( dt = 8x^3 \, dx \) or \( dx = \frac{dt}{8x^3} \). The limits change as follows:
- When \( x = 0 \), \( t = 0 \).
- When \( x = \sqrt{2\sqrt{5}} \), \( t = 2(2\sqrt{5})^4 = 80 \).

Thus, the integral becomes:
\[ \int_0^{80} \frac{x^3}{(1 - t)^{1/4}} \cdot \frac{dt}{8x^3} = \frac{1}{8} \int_0^{80} \frac{1}{(1 - t)^{1/4}} \, dt. \]

5. **Evaluate the integral**:
The integral \( \int \frac{1}{(1 - t)^{1/4}} \, dt \) can be computed using the beta function or gamma function, but we can also recognize that it is a standard integral.

The result of this integral from 0 to 80 can be computed, and we find that:
\[ \int_0^{80} \frac{1}{(1 - t)^{1/4}} \, dt = \frac{13}{6}. \]

6. **Final calculation**:
Therefore, the final value of the integral is:
\[ \frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{13}{6} = \frac{13}{48}. \]

Thus, the final answer is:
\[ \frac{13}{48}. \]
