calculus - Integrate intfracearctan(x)(1+x2)frac32dx



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)=earctanx21+x2(1+x)






You can also do this by parts without substitution: the derivative of earctanx is earctanx/(1+x2), so you have
I=11+x2earctanx1+x2dx=earctanx1+x2+xearctanx(1+x2)3/2dx
If you do this again, you get
x1+x2earctanx1+x2dx=xearctanx1+x2earctanx(1+x2)3/2(1+x2x2)dx,

and I has reappeared on the right, so solving for I gives
I=1+x21+x2earctanx
as before.
