    Integrating by Parts: tan-1x dx

    Homework Statement integral tan-1x dx i am supposed to integrate this by parts Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution integral tan-1x dx = integral cosx/sinx dx u=cos x, du=-sin x dx v=ln sin x, dv= sin-1x dx integral cosx/sinx dx= cosx ln(sinx) - integral[ ln(sinx)(-sinx) dx] is...

    Evaluate integral using substitution

    so u=cos^-1x. therefore du=-1/sqrt[1-x^2] dx is this correct so far? I got -[[cos^-1x]^2]/2 +c hope its right, thanks for the help
