$\int\frac{\sin^8\text{x}-\cos^8\text{x}}{1-2\sin^2\text{x}\cos^2\text{x}}\text{ dx}=\text{a}\sin2\text{x}+\text{C}\ ...(\text{i})$
Considering LHS of eq. (i)
$\Rightarrow\int\frac{(\sin^4\text{x}-\cos^4\text{x})(\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x})}{(1-2\sin^2\text{x}\cos^2\text{x})}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{(\sin^2\text{x}-\cos^2\text{x})(\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x})\cdot(\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x})\text{ dx}}{\big\{(\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x})^2-2\sin^2\text{x}\cos^2\text{x}\big\}}$
$\Rightarrow\int\frac{(\sin^2\text{x}-\cos^2\text{x})\cdot(\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x})\text{ dx}}{(\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x}+2\sin^2\text{x}\cos^2\text{x}-2\sin^2\text{x}\cos^2\text{x})}$
$\Rightarrow-\int\frac{(\cos^2\text{x}-\sin^2\text{x})\times(\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x})\text{ dx}}{(\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x})}$
$\Rightarrow-\int\cos(2\text{x})\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{ii})$ $(\because\cos^2\text{x}-\sin^2\text{x}=\cos2\text{x})$
Comparing the RHS of eq. (i) with eq. (ii) we get
$\text{a}=-\frac{1}{2}$
