Answer

$$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\tan \theta }{\sqrt{2}}\right)+C$$

Work Step by Step

\begin{aligned} \int \frac{d \theta}{1+\cos ^{2} \theta}&= \int \frac{d \theta}{\cos ^{2}\theta (\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} }+1)}\\ &= \int \frac{\sec^2 \theta d \theta}{ (\sec^2 \theta +1)}\\ &= \int \frac{\sec^2 \theta d \theta}{ \tan^2 \theta +2} \end{aligned} Let $$ u=\tan \theta \ \ \ \ \ du = \sec^2 \theta d\theta $$ Then \begin{aligned} \int \frac{d \theta}{1+\cos ^{2} \theta}&= \int \frac{d \theta}{\cos ^{2}\theta (\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} }+1)}\\ &= \int \frac{\sec^2 \theta d \theta}{ (\sec^2 \theta +1)}\\ &= \int \frac{\sec^2 \theta d \theta}{ \tan^2 \theta +2} \\ &= \int \frac{du}{u^2+2}\\ &=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+C\\ &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\tan \theta }{\sqrt{2}}\right)+C \end{aligned}
