Substitute t=tan⁡−1xt=\tan^{-1}x so that dt=dx1+x2dt = \dfrac{dx}{1+x^2} exactly cancels the denominator, reducing the integral to ∫sin⁡t dt\int \sin t\,dt.

Let t=tan⁡−1xt = \tan^{-1}x, so dt=dx1+x2dt = \dfrac{dx}{1+x^2}.

∫sin⁡(tan⁡−1x)1+x2 dx=∫sin⁡t dt=−cos⁡t+C.\int \frac{\sin(\tan^{-1}x)}{1+x^2}\,dx = \int \sin t\,dt = -\cos t + C.

Now convert back: since t=tan⁡−1xt=\tan^{-1}x, draw a right triangle with opposite =x=x, adjacent =1=1, hypotenuse =1+x2=\sqrt{1+x^2}, giving cos⁡t=11+x2\cos t = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}.
