integral of (x^2+1)^{-1}

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

arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- 1} = \frac{1}{a}

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

Use the common integral:

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

= arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= arctan (x) + C
