Step 1.2.1

Factor $1 + y^{2}$ out of $(1 + y^{2}) e^{x}$ .

$\frac{1}{1 + y^{2}} \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{1}{1 + y^{2}} ((1 + y^{2}) (e^{x}))$

Step 1.2.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{1 + y^{2}} \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{1}{1 + y^{2}} ((1 + y^{2}) e^{x})$

Step 1.2.3

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{1 + y^{2}} \frac{d y}{d x} = e^{x}$

Step 1.3

Step 2.2.1

Rewrite $1$ as $1^{2}$ .

$\int \frac{1}{1^{2} + y^{2}} d y = \int e^{x} d x$

Step 2.2.2

The integral of $\frac{1}{1^{2} + y^{2}}$ with respect to $y$ is $\arctan (y) + C_{1}$ .

$\arctan (y) + C_{1} = \int e^{x} d x$

Step 2.3

The integral of $e^{x}$ with respect to $x$ is $e^{x}$ .

$\arctan (y) + C_{1} = e^{x} + C_{2}$

Step 2.4

Group the constant of integration on the right side as $K$ .

$\arctan (y) = e^{x} + K$

Step 3

Take the inverse arctangent of both sides of the equation to extract $y$ from inside the arctangent.

$y = \tan (e^{x} + K)$
