My approach was to use a double-arc formula for cosine and sine, but I did not succeed.
$sin^2 x = frac1 - cos(2x)2$ and $cos^2x = frac1 + cos(2x)2$

  • I would try using $1=cos^2 x+sin^2 x$ then make an obvious substitution.

BE CAREFUL:



$fraccos^2(x)1+sin^2(x)$ is a continuous function over $mathbbR$, therefore you would generally want an antiderivative which also has that property. It is here that WolframAlpha is evidently inferior to GeoGebra (with integration) as latter gives the wonderful solution:



$$ int fraccos^2(x)1+sin^2(x) dx = sqrt2 arctan left( frac(2-sqrt2)sin2x(sqrt2 - 2)cos2x +sqrt2 +2 right) +(sqrt2 -1)x +C$$



By graphical inspection (or otherwise), after implementing the Weierstrass substitution, one can deduce that the continuous integral is



$$ sqrt2 arctan(sqrt2 tan(x)) -x + k leftlfloor fracx+pi/2pi rightrfloor + C $$
Where, $f(x) := sqrt2 arctan(sqrt2 tan(x)) -x $,
$$k = lim_x to pi/2 ^- f(x) - lim_x to pi/2 ^+ f(x) $$



Then, to retrieve GeoGebra's beautiful closed form solution, use:
$$ lfloor x rfloor = frac1pi(arctan(cot(pi x))+pi x-pi/2)$$



Read Szeto's answer here: Continuous antiderivative of $frac11+cos^2 x$ without the floor function. for the floor function insight and concerns about discontinuity.

    Try this
    $$int dfraccos^2x1+sin^2xdx=intdfrac1-sin^2x1+sin^2xdx=int biggl(dfrac21+sin^2x-1biggr)dx$$
    Can you take it from here?

      We reduce the degree of the numerator with



      $$intfraccos^2x1+sin^2xdx=intfrac2-(1+sin^2x)1+sin^2xdx=2intfracdx1+sin^2x-x$$



      and we introduct a tangent to rationalize,



      $$intfracdx1+sin^2x=intfracdxcos^2x+2sin^2x=intfracdxcos^2x(1+2tan^2x)=intfracdt1+2t^2
      \=frac1sqrt2intfracdu1+u^2=frac1sqrt2arctan u=frac1sqrt2arctansqrt2t=frac1sqrt2arctan(sqrt2tan x).$$

        Bioche's rules suggest the substitution $; t=tan x$, so $mathrm d t=(1+t^2),mathrm dxiff mathrm dx=dfracmathrm d t1+t^2$.



        Indeed, $;cos^2x=dfrac 11+t^2$, $;sin^2x=t^2cos^2x=dfrac t^21+t^2$, so that
        $$int fraccos^2 x1 + sin^2 x,mathrm dx=int fracmathrm d t(1 + t^2)(1 + 2t^2)$$
        There remains to decompose this fraction into partial fractions:
        $$ frac1(1 + t^2)(1 + 2t^2)= fracA(1 + t^2)+fracB(1 + 2t^2).$$
        Can you proceed from there?

        • Do you have a source for Bioche's rule? I am interested in it, but I did not find anything usefull yet. Just fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A8gles_de_Bioche, but I do not speak french.

        HINT Proceed with the following substitution $tanfracx2=t$, then $x=2arctan t$, $dx=2dt/(1+t^2)$.



        Remember that $sin x=frac2t1+t^2$ and $cos x=frac1-t^21+t^2$.

          Note that we can write



          $$beginalign
          fraccos^2(x)1+sin^2(x)&=frac1+cos(2x)3-cos(2x)\\
          &=frac4-(3-cos(2x))3-cos(2x)\\
          &=-1+frac43-cos(2x)
          endalign$$



          Enforce the substitution $y=tan(x)$, so that $cos(2x)=frac1-y^21+y^2$ and $dx=frac11+y^2,dy$. Proceeding reveals



          $$beginalign
          intfrac43-cos(2x),dx&=int frac21+2y^2,dy\\
          &=sqrt2arctan(sqrt2,y)+C\\
          &=sqrt2arctan(sqrt2 tan(x))+C
          endalign$$



          Putting it all together yield



          $$int fraccos^2(x)1+sin^2(x),dx=-x+sqrt2arctan(sqrt2 tan(x))+C$$

          Use the substitution:
          $$sin(x)=frac2t1+t^2$$
          $$cos(x)=frac1-t^21+t^2$$
          $$dx=frac2t1+t^2dt$$the so called Weierstrass Substitution.

                                    Bioche's rules suggest the substitution $; t=tan x$, so $mathrm d t=(1+t^2),mathrm dxiff mathrm dx=dfracmathrm d t1+t^2$.



                                    Indeed, $;cos^2x=dfrac 11+t^2$, $;sin^2x=t^2cos^2x=dfrac t^21+t^2$, so that
                                    $$int fraccos^2 x1 + sin^2 x,mathrm dx=int fracmathrm d t(1 + t^2)(1 + 2t^2)$$
                                    There remains to decompose this fraction into partial fractions:
                                    $$ frac1(1 + t^2)(1 + 2t^2)= fracA(1 + t^2)+fracB(1 + 2t^2).$$
                                    Can you proceed from there?
