Please any idea on this,find the primitive of arctan x
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Two ways: Make the substitution u=arctan x, or use integration by parts,

[tex]\int u \ dv = uv - \int v \ du[/tex]

where dv=dx, u=arctan x (they really work out in the same way anyways).
 
Yah now I understand it will be the intergral of arctanxdx. thanx.
