\[f(x) = x/(x ^{2} + 1)^{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that appears to be an arctan
OpenStudy (amistre64):
x^2 + 1 = 2x we need a 2 up top to ln(x) it
OpenStudy (amistre64):
multiply by 1; or rather 2/2 keep the top but pull out the 1/2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
that might not be good tho :)

x
----------
(x^2 +1)^2
tan the bottom :) maybe
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*alternate method time*
1/2 * f 2x/(x^4+1)
u=x^2
du=2x
a=1
arctan(x^2)+C
OpenStudy (amistre64):
tan(t) = x
tan^2(t) = x^2
tan^2 + 1 = sec^2
sec^2^2 = sec^4
tan(t) sec^4(t)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
here is the rule I used:
OpenStudy (amistre64):
tan(t) sec^-4(t) maybe :)

my way you would still have to convert dx to dt...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }1/ (a^2+u^2) = 1/a \arctan(u/a)+C\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well, that equation looks terrible...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wow lol
OpenStudy (amistre64):
tan(t) = x
dt sec^2 = dx thats helpful to me i think

[S] tan(t) sec^-2(t) dt ....maybe
OpenStudy (amistre64):
tan = sin/cos = sin sec-1..... mines just messy lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Isn't that straight u substitution? f(x) = x (x^2 + 1) ^ -2
Let u= x^2 + 1 and du = 2x
OpenStudy (amistre64):
[S] 1/2u^2 du ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That would give you...\[^{} \int\limits_{}^{} 1/2u ^{2}du\]

u^-2 = -u^-1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I mean -2 as the expontent
OpenStudy (amistre64):
-1/2u = -1/2(x^2+1) +C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[1/2\int\limits_{}^{}u ^{-2}du\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
=-1/(2u) + C, then substitue x^2 + 1 back in for u
