Evaluate
[tex]\int\frac{arctan(x)dx}{(1+x^2)^\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Make the substitution:
[tex]x=\tan(u),\to\frac{dx}{du}=\frac{1}{\cos^{2}u}[/tex]
Thus, we get:
[tex]dx=\frac{du}{\cos^{2}(u)}[/tex]
and insertion in your integral yields:
[tex]\int\frac{arctan(x)}{(1+x^{2})^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\int{u}\cos(u)du[/tex]
 


your solution seems nice
honestly i thought it is a hard one,becouse i picked it form "A coures of pure mathematics"
