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

integral

\frac{sin ( x )}{1 + cos ^{2} ( x )}

arctan (tan^{2} (\frac{x}{2})) + C

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{sin ( x )}{- sin ^{2} ( x ) + 2} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{2 u}{u ^{4} + 1} d u

= \int \frac{2 u}{u ^{4} + 1} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{u}{u ^{4} + 1} d u

Apply u-substitution

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( v ^{2} + 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ^{2} + 1} d v

Use the common integral:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (v)

Substitute back

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (tan^{2} (\frac{x}{2}))

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (tan^{2} (\frac{x}{2})) : arctan (tan^{2} (\frac{x}{2}))

= arctan (tan^{2} (\frac{x}{2}))

Add a constant to the solution

= arctan (tan^{2} (\frac{x}{2})) + C

\int (\frac{x ^{2}}{3}) d x

\int x^{19} sin (5 + x^{\frac{21}{2}}) d x

\int 13 x sec^{2} (x) d x

\int \frac{- x ^{2} + 3 x + 20}{3 x ^{3} + 12 x} d x

\int - sin (2 x) \cdot 2 d x
