Question

It is given that
f(x)=11+x2,f(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2},
where xR.{x \in \mathbb{R}.}
(i)
Write down f(x)  dx.{\displaystyle \int f(x) \; \mathrm{d}x.}
[1]
(ii)
Find the binomial expansion for f(x),{f(x),} up to and including the term in x6.{x^6.} Give the coefficients as exact fractions in their simplest form.
