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

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

\frac{1}{2} (arctan (x) + \frac{x}{1 + x ^{2}}) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int \frac{1}{sec ^{4} ( u ) cos ^{2} ( u )} d u

= \int \frac{1}{sec ^{4} ( u ) cos ^{2} ( u )} d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{1 + cos ( 2 u )}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 + cos (2 u) d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

= \frac{1}{2} (\int 1 d u + \int cos (2 u) d u)

\int 1 d u = u

\int cos (2 u) d u = \frac{1}{2} sin (2 u)

= \frac{1}{2} (u + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 u))

Substitute back

u = arctan (x)

= \frac{1}{2} (arctan (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arctan (x)))

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int cos (z^{2}) d z

\int \frac{cos ( u )}{2 u} d u

\int (8 x^{4} + 10 cos (x) - 2^{x}) d x

\int \frac{x}{( x ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}} + e^{- 4 x} d x

\int (3 x^{- 2} + 2) d x
