Answer

$\int\frac{sin2x}{1+cos^{2}x}dx=-ln(1+cos^{2}x)+constant$

Work Step by Step

Evaluate the integral $\int\frac{sin2x}{1+cos^{2}x}dx$ Consider $cos^{2}x=t$ and $2cosx(-sinx)dx=dt$ This implies $sin2xdx=-dt$ Thus, $\int\frac{sin2x}{1+cos^{2}x}dx=-\int\frac{1}{1+t}$ $=-ln|1+t|+constant$ Hence,$\int\frac{sin2x}{1+cos^{2}x}dx=-ln(1+cos^{2}x)+constant$
