finding $int frac{(1-x^2)^{n-1}}{(1+x^2)^n}mathrm{d}x$












3














While trying to evaluate a different integral, I met the following integral:
$$I_n=intfrac{(1-x^2)^{n-1}}{(1+x^2)^n}mathrm{d}x$$
I was lost as to what to do with it, so I looked it up on wolfram alpha, and I got a result in terms of The Appell Hypergeometric Function $F_1$:
$$I_n=xF_1bigg(frac12;1-n,n;frac32;x^2,-x^2bigg)+C$$
Where, for $|x|<1$, and $|y|<1$,
$$F_1(a;b_1,b_2;c;x,y)=sum_{mgeq0}sum_{kgeq0}frac{(a)_{m+k}(b_1)_m(b_2)_k}{m!k!(c)_{m+k}}x^my^k$$
With $$(x)_k=frac{Gamma(x+k)}{Gamma(x)}$$
I found on Wikipedia that
$$F_1(a;b1,b2;c;x,y)=\sum_{kgeq0}frac{(a)_k(b_1)_k(b_2)_k(c-a)_k}{(c+k-1)_k(c)_{2k}}frac{x^ky^k}{k!},_2F_1(a+k,b_1+k;c+2k;x),_2F_1(a+k,b_2+k;c+2k;y)$$
Which I thought might be useful.



I also know that
$$,_1F_0(1-n;;x^2)=(1-x^2)^{n-1}$$
Which gives $$I_n=sum_{mgeq0}frac{(1-n)_m}{m!}intfrac{x^{2m}}{(1+x^2)^n}mathrm{d}x$$
One could preform the substitution $u=1+x^2$:
$$I_n=frac12sum_{mgeq0}frac{(1-n)_m}{m!}intfrac{(u-1)^{m-1/2}}{u^n}mathrm{d}u$$
But this doesn't look any better.



Could anyone provide an alternative solution or give a proof of the result given by Wolfram?
