SUMMARY

The integral ∫e2xarctan(ex)dx can be solved using the table of integrals, specifically referencing equations #92 and #95. The solution is definitively 1/2(e2x + 1)arctan(ex) - (1/2)ex + C. A substitution of u = ex is recommended to simplify the integral into a suitable form for applying equation #95.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integral calculus, specifically integration techniques.
  • Familiarity with the table of integrals, particularly equations #92 and #95.
  • Knowledge of substitution methods in integration.
  • Basic proficiency in handling exponential and arctangent functions.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of the table of integrals for complex integrals.
  • Learn about integration by substitution techniques in detail.
  • Explore the properties and applications of arctangent functions in calculus.
  • Practice solving integrals involving exponential functions and trigonometric identities.
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, particularly those focusing on integral techniques, and educators looking for examples of solving complex integrals using substitution and integral tables.

Homework Statement



∫e2xarctan(ex)dx

Homework Equations



From the table of integrals:
#92 ∫utan-1udu = (u2+1)/2)tan-1-u/2 + c

or

#95 ∫untan-1udu = 1/(n+1)[un+1tan-1-∫ (un+1du)/(1+u2) , n≠-1

The Attempt at a Solution



The answer is 1/2(e2x+1)arctan(ex) - (1/2)ex + C

I don't know if I'm supposed to make a substitution first and if so what I should substitute and/or if which from I should use from the table. I've tried to make the initial substitution of e2x and ex and they both got me seemingly nowhere. Help please.

Try ##u=e^x## and see if you can't get it in a form to use 95 with ##u^n## in front for some ##n##.
