integral of 1/(x^2(1+x^2))

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} ( 1 + x ^{2} )} d x

- \frac{1}{x} - arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} ( 1 + x ^{2} )} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} ( 1 + x ^{2} )} : \frac{1}{x ^{2}} - \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1}

= \int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} - \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x - \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x = - \frac{1}{x}

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = arctan (x)

= - \frac{1}{x} - arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{x} - arctan (x) + C

\int \frac{3}{4 + x} d x

\int \frac{16 - ( e ^{x} ) ^{2}}{( e ^{x} ) ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{1}{( 2 + x ^{2} )} d x

\int 10 - x^{2} (5 x) d x

\int \frac{x}{x ^{3} - x ^{2} + x + 3} d x
