In your last integral, there's a fairly obvious substitution.

BTW, you need more parentheses: the integrand can be written more understandably as 4t/(1 + 16t^2)
 


what would be the substituition? in the book after thsi they factor out a 1/8...im lost
 


? so am i integrating by parts again?
 


i finnaly got it. this textbook sucks at explaining this. thanks guys. sorry dick i was confused at first cause u said let u= 16x^2+1 and i already used u. i get what you were saying now and it makes a lot of sense. thanks!
