Step 2.2.1

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

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

Step 2.2.2

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

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

Step 2.3

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{2} x^{2}$ .

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

Step 2.4

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

$\arctan (y) = \frac{1}{2} x^{2} + K$
