y=arctanx
tany=x
∫earctan(x)(1+x2)32 dx=∫earctan(tany)(1+tan2y)32dy=∫eysec3ydy=eycos3y+∫3eysiny cos2y dy
Is this right so far or am I doing something wrong?
It's been quite a while since I've done integration with trig substitutions. Last time I did this integral I did not use trig subtitution and still got the correct answer, I can't find my solutions from then(over 2 years ago).
Answer
Your substitution gives
I=∫ey(1+tan2y)3/2sec2ydy=∫eycosydy,
which we work out by integrating by parts a couple of times to be
12ey(cosy+siny)=12eycosy(1+tany)=earctanx2√1+x2(1+x)
You can also do this by parts without substitution: the derivative of earctanx is earctanx/(1+x2), so you have
I=∫1√1+x2earctanx1+x2dx=earctanx√1+x2+∫xearctanx(1+x2)3/2dx
If you do this again, you get
∫x√1+x2earctanx1+x2dx=xearctanx1+x2−∫earctanx(1+x2)3/2(1+x2−x2)dx,
and I has reappeared on the right, so solving for I gives
I=1+x2√1+x2earctanx
as before.
