$\displaystyle\int \dfrac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ equals:

A$\tan^{-1} x + C$
B$\sin^{-1} x + C$
C$\log(1+x^2) + C$
D$\dfrac{1}{2}\log(1+x^2) + C$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. $\tan^{-1} x + C$
Standard form: $\int \dfrac{1}{a^2 + x^2}\,dx = \dfrac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}(x/a) + C$. With $a = 1$, this reduces to $\tan^{-1} x + C$. Option A would be the integral of $\dfrac{2x}{1+x^2}$, not $\dfrac{1}{1+x^2}$.
