1. [tex]\int \frac{x}{(x-3)^{2}+1}[/tex]
which was had by completing the square integrate
[tex]\int \frac{x}{x^{2}-6x+10}[/tex]
[tex]u = x[/tex]
[tex]du = 1[/tex]
[tex]dv=\frac{1}{(x-3)^{2}+1) }[/tex]
[tex]v=arctan(x-3)[/tex]
This problem was presented in a refresher sheet for an engineering course I'm taking this semester. I completed many long and tedious integrations but seem to run into a problem on only this one from the entire sheet. I could easily just forget this problem and use the arctan solution in the integral tables which I inadvertently memorized while trying to solve this problem. If I attempt to integrate by parts from the beginning using the completed square I get the following; which is where I run into a problem. If someone could work out a proper solution I would be eternally grateful even if you just dump it in without using latex.
[tex]x*arctan(x-3) - \int arctan(x-3)[/tex]
Integrating arctan when only x or x with a coefficient is easily done by integrating by parts. However I seem to repeat the initial problem when I try to integrate it regardless. The whole difficulty seems to lie with having u=(x-3) rather than (x) or (nx)...
