Answer

$s(t) = t^2-tan^{-1}~t+1$

Work Step by Step

$s(t)$ is the position of the particle at time $t$ $\frac{ds}{dt} = v(t)$ is the velocity of the particle at time $t$ $v(t) = 2t-\frac{1}{(1+t^2)}$ $s(t) = \int [2t-\frac{1}{(1+t^2)}]~dt = t^2-tan^{-1}~t+C$ Note that $s(0) = 1$ We can find the value of $C$: $s(0) = (0)^2-tan^{-1}~(0)+C= 1$ $0-0+C = 1$ $C = 1$ Therefore: $s(t) = t^2-tan^{-1}~t+1$
