Integrate the function: \(tan^{-1}x\)
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is: \(xtan^{-1}x-\frac{1}{2}log(1+x^2)+C\)
Let \(I=∫1.tan^{-1}x dx\)
Taking \(tan^{-1}x\) as first function and 1 as second function and integrating by parts,we
obtain
\(I=tan^{-1}x∫1dx-∫[{(\frac{d}{dx}tan^{-1}x)∫1.dx}]dx\)
\(=tan^{-1}x.x-∫\frac{1}{1+x^2}.x dx\)
\(=xtan^{-1}x-\frac{1}{2}∫\frac{2x}{1+x^2} dx\)
\(=xtan^{-1}x-\frac{1}{2}log|1+x^2|+C\)
\(=xtan^{-1}x-\frac{1}{2}log(1+x^2)+C\)
