Find \int_{}^{} x*(tan^(-1)(x))^2\,d
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What are the limits of integration, if any?

What have you tried so far?

I would attempt integration by parts with $\displaystyle \begin{align*} u = \left[ \arctan{(x)} \right] ^2 \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \mathrm{d}v = x\,\mathrm{d}x \end{align*}$...

I did it but it needs many steps and there is no result
