Answer

\[\frac{1}{2}\ln |1+x^2|+\tan^{-1} x+C\]

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int\frac{1+x}{1+x^2}\:dx\] \[I=\int\frac{\frac{1}{2}(2x)+1}{1+x^2}\:dx\] \[I=\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\:dx+\int\frac{dx}{1+x^2}\;\;\;...(1)\] Let \[I_1=\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\:dx\] Put $t=1+x^2 \;\;\Rightarrow \;\;dt=2x\:dx$ \[I_1=\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{dt}{t}\] \[I_1=\frac{1}{2}\ln |t|\] \[I_1=\frac{1}{2}\ln |1+x^2|\;\;\;...(2)\] Let \[I_2=\int\frac{1}{1+x^2}\:dx\] \[I_2=\tan^{-1}x\;\;\;...(3)\] Using (2) and (3) in (1) \[I=\frac{1}{2}\ln |1+x^2|+\tan^{-1} x+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration Hence, \[I=\frac{1}{2}\ln |1+x^2|+\tan^{-1} x+C\]
