\]
$\square$ $+C$
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the integral \(\int \frac{1}{x^{2}+1} \, dx\), recognize that it is a standard integral that results in the arctangent function. The antiderivative of \(\frac{1}{x^2 + 1}\) is \(\arctan(x)\).
Step 1: Recognize the Integral Form
The integral \(\int \frac{1}{x^2 + 1} \, dx\) is a standard form that corresponds to the derivative of the arctangent function.
Step 2: Identify the Antiderivative
The antiderivative of \(\frac{1}{x^2 + 1}\) is \(\arctan(x)\).
Final Answer
The integral evaluates to:
\[
\boxed{\arctan(x) + C}
\]
