Stuck on the integral: arctan (4t) dt

[dlikes]

Homework Statement

The Integral is arctan (4t) dt

Homework Equations

I know how to do integration by parts, but I guess I have forgotten some of the integration rules.

The Attempt at a Solution

I set ∫arctan(4t)=u, and dt=dv

I know that the derivative of arctan(x) is 1/(1+x^2), But when I differentiate arctan(4t), it comes out as 4t/(1+16t^2). Why is this? To me it seems like it should be 1/(1+4t^2). I know how to do the rest, I have the answer, I'm just not sure how they got there. Thanks for any help.

Because you've calculated the derivative wrong. To tell you exactly where your error is, you'll need to post your steps.
