Can you explain me this antiderivative?
Find the antiderivative of e x 2 e x + 2 e x 2 + 5 .
The book suggests a switch of variables. Let t = e x 2 . And so x = 2 ln ( t ). The antiderivative transforms into: 2 t 2 + 2 t + 5 d t
Here is my first doubt.Where came from the 2 in the numerator?
Then, 2 1 t 2 + 2 t + 5 d t = 2 1 ( t + 1 ) 2 + 4 d t .
And finally my main doubt. How can one obtain, 1 2 1 1 + ( t + 1 2 ) 2 d t
The antiderivative is tan 1 1 2 ( e x 2 + 1 ) + C which is different from what Wolfram presents.The Wolfram result was: tan 1 ( 2 e x 2 + 1 ) + C

Step 1
First doubt: from x = 2 ln ( t ) you get d x = 2 d t / t, and here comes out the 2.
Step 2
Second doubt: from ( t + 1 ) 2 + 4, you get 4 [ ( t + 1 ) 2 4 + 1 ] = 4 [ ( t + 1 2 ) 2 + 1 ].
Step 3
Third doubt: take into account the known relation arctan ( x ) + arctan ( 1 / x ) = π / 2 for x > 0.

Explanation:
arctan ( 1 / 2 e 1 / 2 x + 1 / 2 ) = 1 / 2 i ( ln ( 1 / 2 i e 1 / 2 x + 1 1 / 2 i ) ln ( 1 / 2 i e 1 / 2 x + 1 + 1 / 2 i ) )
