Integral(1/(x^4 + 2*x^2 + 1), (x, 0, 1))
Detail solution
  1. Rewrite the integrand:

    TrigSubstitutionRule(theta=_theta, func=tan(_theta), rewritten=cos(_theta)**2, substep=RewriteRule(rewritten=cos(2*_theta)/2 + 1/2, substep=AddRule(substeps=[ConstantTimesRule(constant=1/2, other=cos(2*_theta), substep=URule(u_var=_u, u_func=2*_theta, constant=1/2, substep=ConstantTimesRule(constant=1/2, other=cos(_u), substep=TrigRule(func='cos', arg=_u, context=cos(_u), symbol=_u), context=cos(_u), symbol=_u), context=cos(2*_theta), symbol=_theta), context=cos(2*_theta)/2, symbol=_theta), ConstantRule(constant=1/2, context=1/2, symbol=_theta)], context=cos(2*_theta)/2 + 1/2, symbol=_theta), context=cos(_theta)**2, symbol=_theta), restriction=True, context=(x**2 + 1)**(-2), symbol=x)

  2. Now simplify:

  3. Add the constant of integration:
