Answer

$\tan^{-1} |x|+C$

Work Step by Step

Consider $x= \tan \theta \implies dx=\sec^2 \theta d\theta$ Now, the given integral can be written as: $\int\dfrac{\sec ^2 \theta}{1+\tan^2 \theta } d\theta= \int \dfrac{\sec^2 \theta}{\sec^2 \theta} d\theta$ or, $= \int d \theta$ or, $=\tan^{-1} |x|+C$
