How to calculate the indefinite integral of $frac1x^2/3(1+x^2/3)$?

$$int fracdxx^2/3(1+x^2/3).$$
I substituted,
$$t=frac1x^1/3$$
$$fracdtdx = -frac13x^4/3$$
$$fracdtdx = -fract^43$$
Rewriting the question,
$$int fracdxx^2/3+x^4/3$$
$$-frac13 int fracdtt^4Bigl(frac1t^2+frac1t^4Bigr)$$
We have,
$$-frac13 int fracdtt^2 + 1$$
$$-frac13tan^-1t+C$$
$$-frac13tan^-1Biggl(frac1x^1/3Biggr)+C$$
But the answer given is $$3tan^-1x^1/3+C$$
Where am I wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

You forgot the number 3 to multiply the dt

Two observations resolve this. The first is that you didn't invert the derivative properly, so your $1/3$ coefficient should be $3$ because $dx=-3t^-4dt$. Secondly, $arctan 1/y=pi/2-arctan y$ implies there's more than one way to write the answer, with your method getting something valid. I think you were expected to substitute $t=x^1/3$ instead; your choice does work, but it's conceptually more complex.

$t=sqrt[3]x,qquad dt=frac1x^2/3dx$
$$int frac1x^frac23+x^frac43dx=3int frac1t^2+1dt$$

If $$t=x^-2/3$$ then $$dt=frac-23x^-5/3dx$$

$t=sqrt[3]x,qquad dt=frac1x^2/3dx$
$$int frac1x^frac23+x^frac43dx=3int frac1t^2+1dt$$
