integral of arctg(x)/sqrt(1-x^2)

maybe u = arctg x du = 1 /1+x^2
but x = tg u
maybe this is the way isn't it?

Wolfram couldn't find an antiderivative so I doubt there is one...

A possible approach is to use the MacLaurin expansion...

$\displaystyle \frac{\tan^{-1} x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} = x + \frac{1}{6}\ x^{3} + \frac{49}{120}\ x^{5} + \frac{81}{560}\ x^{7} + \mathcal{O}\ (x^{9})\ (1)$

... and to integrate term by term...

Kind regards

Thank for your answer but you must solve it by normal or traditional methods students have not studied series yet
Could anybody do that way??

Hey! :D

As with your other recent thread - for $$\int \sqrt{x}e^x\, dx$$ - it sounds like your teacher is asking you to do stuff without him or her teaching you the things necessary to solve the problem... (Headbang)
