Two different solutions of $intfrac{1}{1+x} dx$
I am having doubt in the calculation of the integral
$$
intfrac{1}{1+x} dx,$$
the solution of which is
$$
log(1+x)+C.$$
I have solved this integration in a different way. First I converted the above integral to
$$
;intfrac{1}{1+(sqrt{x})^2} dx.$$
Then I used the formula as
$$
{intfrac{1}{1+x^2} dx}=tan^{-1}x+C
$$
so by using this formula I got as an answer $tan^{-1}(sqrt{x})+C$ which is different from the solution.
Am I correct about this?

The correct answer is $ln(|1+x|)+C$.

The substitution $x=t^2$ (which, by the way, can be done only for $xge0$) brings the integral in the form
$$
intfrac{1}{1+t^2}cdot 2t,dt=log(1+t^2)+c=log(1+x)+c
$$
Recall that integration by substitution is an application of the chain rule for derivatives. The $dx$ is a reminder for you to apply it (more than that, actually).
Otherwise you'd get, similarly to your manipulation,
$$
int x,dx=int (sqrt{x})^2,dx=frac{(sqrt{x})^3}{3}+c
$$
which is clearly absurd. Or
$$
intfrac{1}{sqrt{1-x}},dx=intfrac{1}{sqrt{1-(sqrt{x})^2}},dx=arcsinsqrt{x}+c
$$
whereas the correct antiderivative is $-2sqrt{1-x}+c$.

No. You forgot to change $rm{d}x$ into $rm{d}(sqrt x)$.
