integral of 1/((sqrt(1+x^2))^3)

\int \frac{1}{( 1 + x ^{2} ) ^{3}} d x

\frac{x}{1 + x ^{2}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( 1 + x ^{2} ) ^{3}} d x

Simplify

(1 + x^{2})^{3} : (1 + x^{2})^{2} 1 + x^{2}

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

(1 + x^{2})^{2} = 1 + x^{2}

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

Simplify

(1 + x^{2}) 1 + x^{2} : (1 + x^{2})^{\frac{3}{2}}

= \int \frac{1}{( 1 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int cos (u) d u = sin (u)

= sin (u)

Substitute back

u = arctan (x)

= sin (arctan (x))

Use the following identity:

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

= \frac{x}{1 + x ^{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x}{1 + x ^{2}} + C
