integral of (-1)/(x^2+1)

\int \frac{- 1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

- arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{- 1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = arctan (x)

= - arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - arctan (x) + C
