Answer

an explicit formula for $f(x)$ is $$ f(x) =\frac{1+x^{2}}{x^{2}}(x \cos x+\sin x) $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \int_{0}^{x} f(t) d t=x \sin x+\int_{0}^{x} \frac{f(t)}{1+t^{2}} d t $$ by differentiation we get: $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d}{dx} \left[ \int_{0}^{x} f(t) d t \right] &=\frac{d}{dx} \left[x \sin x+\int_{0}^{x} \frac{f(t)}{1+t^{2}} d t \right]\\ f(x)&=x \cos x+\sin x+\frac{f(x)}{1+x^{2}}\\ f(x)\left(1-\frac{1}{1+x^{2}}\right) &=x \cos x+\sin x\\ f(x)\left(\frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}\right) &=x \cos x+\sin x \\ f(x) &=\frac{1+x^{2}}{x^{2}}(x \cos x+\sin x) \end{aligned} $$ Thus an explicit formula for $f(x)$ is $$ f(x) =\frac{1+x^{2}}{x^{2}}(x \cos x+\sin x) $$
