    This type of substitution which is used to bypass a trig sub and create a rational integrand is often called a “rationalization sub”, and these substitutions infamously tend to seem pretty unmotivated and require foresight (compared to a trig sub which is more systematic), but as far as I know, any trig sub integrand has a corresponding rationalization sub.
    You could also multiply it out and do a partial fraction decomposition.

    I have used a shorter way:
    The function, which should be integrated is even. Therefore f(x)=f(-x) => The integral from - infinity to zero gives the same value as from zero to infinity. Therefore we can extend integration from - infinity to infinity, when multipiying the integral with 1/2.
    Intrgl(0 inf) dx/(x²+1)² = 1/2 * intgrl(-inf inf) dx/(x²+1)²
    The path of integration is extended to a half circle with radius going to infinity. The integral of the arc tends to zero, when the radius goes to infinity.
    The function is analytic, therefore we can aply the residue theorem. The function has poles of second order at x=+i and x=-i As integration is done in the positive region of imaginary part of f(x), only x=+1 is relevant. =>
    1/2 * intgrl(-inf inf) dx/(x²+1)² = pi i (1/2) Res(i) (1/(1+x²)²) = pi i lim (x->i) d/dx [(x-i)²/(x+i)²(i-i)²] = pi i lim (x->i) d/dx [1/(x+i)²]= pi i lim (x->i) (-2)/(z+i)³ = pi i (-2)/(4 i³) = pi i / (4 i) = pi/4

    I can tell you that it is less than π/2 right off the bat, but greater than 0. The reasoning is that this function will be closer to the x-axis than 1/(1+x²). The area under 1/(1+x²) is easy to compute because the integral is tan-1(x).

    Awesome Dr. Peyam. Thank you. I wish you could help with the field strength coefficients of the Geometric Chronon Field Theory when the far observer r -> 0. These are 95/96 for the electron, 4/Pi for the Muon and 1.556198537190343965638770314399... for the Tau lepton. Unlike QM, the theory is based on events and not on particles. Such an idea was first to appear in the work of H. S. Snyder in 1947 but was algebraic rather than geometric. The idea of the Geometric Chronon Field Theory is that misalignment of events means forces and thus matter. The measurement of how much events are misaligned is by using the Reeb vector of a gradient of scalar functions. One of these scalar functions is very similar to the Robert Geroch time function (Geroch splitting theorem). It is a scalar field and not a coordinate of time. In a big bang manifold or any manifold with a Cauchy surface, a Geroch function must exist and is the maximal proper time t(q) between each event q and the Cauchy surface but it is not a coordinate because it is not guaranteed that this time can be measured along a unique curve . In a big bang manifold, the Cauchy surface is shrunken to the big bang limit. The model is of a physically accessible observed space time and of an observer spacetime. Dr. Sam Vaknin's idea from 1982 was that time is fundamental to physics and not matter. This approach is diametrically opposed to the trend to get spacetime as emergent from endless matrices. I think the derivation of the mass ratio between the Muon and the electron will interest you and also the calculation of the inverse Fine Structure Constant will be interesting to you too. 4/Pi does not come from the theory. It is actually a critical value in QFT. It should come from the theory itself. The result that not only ordinary mass generates gravity but also charge does is well understood. Negative charge generates weak anti-gravity and positive charge generates positive gravity. As hot and not sparse galaxies age and lose electrons, the gravity becomes stronger than expected. Also the super massive BH of the galaxy must be greater than expected.

    I think you should try
    X=tan(thita)
    So the denamenator becomes sec^4(thita)
    And your dx= sec^2(thita).
    Ultimately you will get integral 1/(sec^2(thita)) i.e. cos^2(thita)
    Now limit of the integral will be 0 to pi/2.
    Just take 1/2common so (2cos^2(thita))=(1+cos(2thita)) just apply the integral
    You will finally get
    1/2*(pi/2)=(pi/4)

      @@emanuelvendramini2045 Yes this particular sub x=1/u can be used in a lot of places where some conditions are met. Like the bounds being "invertible". Like say the bounds (0,∞). Applying the sub changes the bounds to (∞,0). But since dx=-du/u^2, the minus again flips the bounds to (0,∞). But since we have an extra 1/u^2 now in the integrand, it can be used to massage the integrand into what we want.
      A similar example is of (1,∞). Applying the sub gives you (1,0) and the minus flips it to (0,1). So if you have the bounds (0,∞), you can break it into (0,1) and (1,∞) and apply this sub on the second integral to get (0,1). Now since both integrals have bounds of (0,1), the integrands can be combined into one integral. Whenever you have good bounds like (0,1) , (1,∞) , (0,∞), you should try this sub if it looks like this sub might help

    Let be q(x)=x^2+1 then q'(x)=2*x. Note that 1/(2*x*(x^2+1))= A/(2*x)+(B*x+C)/(x^2+1). That is 1=A*(x^2+1)+(B*x+C)*(2*x). If x=0 then 1=A.Therefore C=0 and B=-1/2.
    Then the 1/(x^2+1)^2=1/(q(x))^2=A*q(x)/(q(x)^2+(B*x+C)*q'(x)/(q(x)^2) we can use Parts.
