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

integral

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = 1 + x^{2}

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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