-2ln1+x^2 is what I thought but that's wrong

2(1+x)2dx\displaystyle \int -2 (1+x)^{-2} \, \mathrm{d}x

(add one to the power and divide by the new power, remember that...?)

Logarithmic terms only appear if you have 1/x and not 1/x^2.

Do you understand your mistake? A sub u = x+1 may make things clearer.
