Answer

$$x = \tan \left( {\ln \left| {t + 1} \right|} \right)$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \left( {t + 1} \right)\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = {x^2} + 1 \cr & {\text{Separating the variables}} \cr & \frac{{dx}}{{{x^2} + 1}} = \frac{{dt}}{{t + 1}} \cr & \cr & {\text{Integrate}} \cr & \int {\frac{{dx}}{{{x^2} + 1}}} = \int {\frac{{dt}}{{t + 1}}} \cr & \arctan x = \ln \left| {t + 1} \right| + C \cr & \cr & {\text{Use the condition }}x\left( 0 \right) = 0 \cr & \arctan 0 = \ln \left| {0 + 1} \right| + C \cr & C = 0 \cr & \cr & {\text{Then}}{\text{,}} \cr & \arctan x = \ln \left| {t + 1} \right| \cr & {\text{Solve for }}x \cr & \tan \left( {\arctan x} \right) = \tan \left( {\ln \left| {t + 1} \right|} \right) \cr & x = \tan \left( {\ln \left| {t + 1} \right|} \right) \cr} $$
