Step 1: Recognize that the function g(s) = 1 / (s² + 1) resembles the derivative of the arctangent function. Recall the formula for the derivative of arctan(x): d/dx [arctan(x)] = 1 / (x² + 1).
Step 2: Use the antiderivative rule to conclude that the integral of g(s) = 1 / (s² + 1) is arctan(s) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
Step 3: Write the general form of the antiderivative: G(s) = arctan(s) + C.
Step 4: To verify your work, take the derivative of G(s). Using the derivative rule for arctan(s), d/ds [arctan(s)] = 1 / (s² + 1), and the derivative of a constant is 0.
Step 5: Confirm that the derivative of G(s) matches the original function g(s). Since d/ds [arctan(s) + C] = 1 / (s² + 1), the solution is correct.

Antiderivatives

An antiderivative of a function is another function whose derivative is the original function. In calculus, finding antiderivatives is essential for solving problems related to integration. The process often involves recognizing patterns or applying integration techniques, such as substitution or integration by parts.
