Solution always requires arctan(x) and not arcsin(x) or arccos(x). Is this on purpose?

Question appears to be working correctly.

Since the degree of the numerator of $f(x)$ is greater than the denominator, $f(x)$ is improper.

\n

First, perform a polynomial long division, so that $f(x)$ can be rewritten in the form $\\displaystyle{f(x)=\\simplify[std]{{n}x+{p}/(1+x^2)}}$.

\n

Each term of this expression can then be integrated using standard functions (to within the arbitrary constant) to give:
