Integrating $frac{1}{1+x^2}$ and $frac{-1}{1+x^2}$

$begingroup$


Given the idea of antiderivatives, how do I reconcile the following?



$$ F(x) = int_0^x frac{1}{1+t^2},dt = arctan x $$



$$ G(x) = int_0^xfrac{-1}{1 + t^2},dt neq text{arccot }x iff frac{d}{dx}big[text{arccot }xbig] = frac{-1}{1+x^2}$$

    $G(x)=operatorname{arccot} x+C$. You need to determine the constant.

    Are you trying to prove that $intfrac{dx}{x^2+1}=arctan x$?

Since by definition $G(0)=0$, $G(x)=-arctan x=operatorname{arccot}x-frac{pi}{2}$.
