How to solve for dx in the numerator by itself












-2












$begingroup$


$$int frac{dx}{1+x^2} $$
I'm having a hard time knowing what to do when it's just dx on top

          If this was your confusion: the integral is precisely by definition equal to $$int frac{1}{1+x^2} mathrm{d}x$$
          which is a very well-known integral.
