[tex]\int[/tex]arctg[tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]dx

using[tex]\int[/tex]udv=uv-[tex]\int[/tex]vdu

dv=dx
v=x

u=arctg[tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]
du=u'dx=[1/(1+x)]dx

[tex]\int[/tex]arctg[tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]dx=xarctg[tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex] - [tex]\int[/tex]x*[1/(1+x)]dx
=xarctg[tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex] - [tex]\int[/tex][x/(1+x)]dx
=xarctg[tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex] - [tex]\int[/tex]1-[1/(1+x)]dx
=xarctg[tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex] - x+ln|x+1|+c
but this is wrong, where have i made the mistake?

The derivative of arctan(sqrt(x)) is (1/(1+x))*1/2(sqrt(x)), you can still solve this question by looking at:
sqrt(x)/(1+x)dx=2/3(d(x^3/2))/(1+(x^3/2)^(2/3))
sqrt(x)dx=2/3d(x^3/2)
and the integral of dy/(1+y^2/3)
can be solved by writing y^1/3=sinh(t).

I am not sure this will work, but I think that there is no easy way here.
