Finding an antiderivative
I need to find the following:
1 x 1 + x 1 x d x
Firstly, it has to be that x ( 1 , 0 ) ( 0 , 1 ]. From this, it is implied that 1 + x > 0. Also, it holds that 1 x 0.
What I did is that I multiplied both numerator and denominator by 1 + x . Thus, we have:
1 x 2 1 + x 1 x d x = x = sin t cos t 1 + sin t 1 sin t cos t d t = cos 2 t ( 1 + sin t ) sin t d t = 1 sin 2 t ( 1 + sin t ) sin t d t = ( 1 sin t ) ( 1 + sin t ) ( 1 + sin t ) sin t d t = 1 sin t 1 d t .
Thus, the final answer is:
log | tan ( arcsin x 2 ) | arcsin x + C ,,
since 1 sin t d t = log | tan ( t 2 ) | + c ..
The answer given in the textbook is:
log | 1 x 1 + x 1 x + 1 + x | + 2 arctan ( 1 x 1 + x ) + c o n s t a n t
I have derived that the arguments in the logarithms are the same, but it seems difficult to connect arc sin x with 2 arctan ( 1 x 1 + x ) ..

Step 1
Let x = cos 2 y 0 2 y π
1 x 1 + x = tan y
2 arctan 1 x 1 + x = 2 y = arccos x = π 2 arcsin x
Step 2
1 x 1 + x = u x = 1 u 2 1 + u 2
