Homework Statement
I'm at the last step of an integral but can't seem to get the right answer.
Homework Equations
After many substitutions I finally have \int^1_0 arctan(w)dw which from wiki is a standard integral, =[w \text{ arctan}(w)-1/2 \text{ ln}|1+w^2|]^1_0
The Attempt at a Solution
Evaluating this:
=1*\text{ arctan}(1)-1/2 \text{ ln}|1+1^2|-0+1/2 \text{ ln}|1+0^2|
=\pi/4-1/2 \text{ ln}(2)+1/2 \text{ ln}|1|
=\pi/4-1/2 \text{ ln}(2)
=1/4(\pi-2\text{ ln}(2))
however, the answer is stated as:
1/4(\pi-\text{ ln}(4))
is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for any help
