Answer

$\arctan x-x+1$

Work Step by Step

We need to integrate: $y=\int (\dfrac{1}{x^2+1}-1) dx$ We use the differential trigonometric formula: $\int \dfrac{1}{x^2+a^2}=\arctan (x/a)+C$ $y=\arctan x-x+c$ Take initial conditions: $y(0)=1$ Then $y(0)=\arctan (0)-0+c =1\implies c=1$ Thus, we have $y=\arctan x-x+1$
