Step 1: Recognize the integral form.
The given integral is ∫(1+r2)−1dr, which can be rewritten as:
∫1+r21dr
This is a standard integral form ∫a2+r21dr, where a=1.
Step 2: Apply the standard integration formula.
The integral of a2+r21 with respect to r is a1arctan(ar)+C.
Substitute a=1 into the formula:
∫12+r21dr=11arctan(1r)+C
=arctan(r)+C
The final answer is arctan(r)+C.
