Integrate: \frac{2x+1}{x^2+1} - Solutions

[tunabeast]

Homework Statement

Compute the following antiderivative \int \frac {(2x+1)}{ (x^2+1)} d \ x

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried a method using using substitution of u = x^2+1, but i think this is approaching the question in the complete wrong way. I think maybe some kind of trigonometric function comes into it but I'm not sure which. Thanks in advance for any assistance

Both are needed, but only after you split the fraction

\frac {(2x+1)}{ (x^2+1)} as \frac {2x}{ (x^2+1)} + \frac {1}{ (x^2+1)}
