#int dx/(1+x^2) + int x/(1+x^2) = arctanx + ln sqrt (1+x^2) +C#

The first integral is a well known anti-derivative:

#int dx/(1+x^2) = arctanx +C#

For the second we can substitute:

#x^2 = u#

#2xdx = du#

so:

#int x/(1+x^2) = 1/2 int (du)/(1+u) = ln sqrt abs (1+u)+C#

then:

#int dx/(1+x^2) + int x/(1+x^2) = arctanx + ln sqrt (1+x^2) +C#
