Now, use that
$$sqrt{x^4+1}-x^2=frac{1}{sqrt{x^4+1}+x^2}.$$

    Use the trick twice for the numerator to obtain



    $$dfrac{x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1} -x^{4}}{sqrt{x^{4} +x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1}} +sqrt{2x^{4} }}=dfrac{x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1} -x^{4}}{sqrt{x^{4} +x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1}} +sqrt{2x^{4} }}cdot dfrac{x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1} +x^{4}}{x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1} +x^{4}}=$$



    $$=dfrac{x^4}{left(sqrt{x^{4} +x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1}} +sqrt{2x^{4} }right)left(x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1} +x^{4}right)}simfrac{1}{4sqrt 2 x^2}to 0$$

    $begingroup$

    Another approach is using substitution $x=cot t$:
    begin{align}
    lim_{xtoinfty}left(sqrt{x^{4} +x^{2}sqrt{x^{4} +1}}-sqrt{2x^{4}}right)
    &=lim_{tto0}dfrac{sqrt{cos^2t+cos t}-sqrt{2cos^2t}}{sin t} \
    &=lim_{tto0}dfrac{cos t(1-cos t)}{sin t(sqrt{cos^2t+cos t}+sqrt{2cos^2t})} \
    &=lim_{tto0}dfrac{cos t}{sqrt{cos^2t+cos t}+sqrt{2cos^2t}}dfrac{2sin^2frac{t}{2}}{frac{t^2}{2}}dfrac{t}{sin t}dfrac{t}{2} \
    &=color{blue}{0}
    end{align}

      Could you precise? How is $x=cos t$ with $tto 0$ if $xto infty$?

      @user376343 It's impossible when $xtoinfty$ then $tto0$ with $x=cos t$.

      When $t to 0$ then $cos t to 1$ therefore I find you substitution mysterious...
