Integrating xarctg2x Using Integration by Parts

In summary: The first is the one that occurs in comment #4.Both integrals can be solved using the same method of integration by parts, but the expressions for $u$ and $dv$ will be slightly different. In the first integral, $u = \arctan^2(x)$ and $dv = \frac{x}{1+x^2}$, while in the second integral, $u = x\arctan(x)$ and $dv = \frac{\arctan(x)}{1+x^2}$. The rest of the solution process will be the same as outlined in the previous summary.

it is integral of xarctg2x
u = arctg2x
du =1/(1+x2) or 2(arctgx/(1+x2) ?' I am stuck here

dv = x v =x2/2

I would consider:

\(\displaystyle u=\tan^{-1}(x)\)

\(\displaystyle dv=x\tan^{-1}(x)\)

Finding $du$ is easy, but you will want to use integration by parts to find $v$.

Ok as it is to the square
du = 2arctgx/(1+x2)
and dv = x consequently v = x2/2

so applying formula I got (tang-1(x))2(x2)/2 - 1/2integral (x2 (arctgx))/(1+x2)

Now how can I solve this second integral??

To evaluate \(\displaystyle \int \frac{x^2 \arctan x}{1+x^2}dx\), write \(\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{1+x^2} = \frac{(1+x^2)-1}{1+x^2} = 1 - \frac1{1+x^2},\) so that \(\displaystyle \int \frac{x^2 \arctan x}{1+x^2}dx = \int\arctan x\,dx - \int \frac{\arctan x}{1+x^2}dx.\) Then see if you can evaluate each of those last two integrals (using integration by parts again).

That is the end
= {(tan⁻¹x)²}*(x²/2) - ∫{(tan⁻¹x)/(1 + x²)}*(x²) dx

= {(tan⁻¹x)²}*(x²/2) - ∫{(tan⁻¹x) dx + ∫{(tan⁻¹x)dx/(1 + x²) --------- (1)

iii) ∫{(tan⁻¹x)dx/(1 + x²); let (tan⁻¹x) = y; so, dx/(1 + x²) = dy
==> ∫{(tan⁻¹x)dx/(1 + x²) = ∫y dy = y²/2 = (tan⁻¹x)²/2 -------- (A)

∫{(tan⁻¹x) dx = x*(tan⁻¹x) - ∫x* dx/(1 + x²)
∫x* dx/(1 + x²) = (1/2)∫2x* dx/(1 + x²) = (1/2)*ln|1 + x²|
So, ∫{(tan⁻¹x) dx = x*(tan⁻¹x) - (1/2)*ln|1 + x²| -------------- (B)

Substituting the values as in (A) & (B) in (1),
∫{(tan⁻¹x)/(1 + x²)}*(x²) dx = (tan⁻¹x)²/2 - x*(tan⁻¹x) + (1/2)*ln|1 + x²| ------ (3)

∫x*{(tan⁻¹x)²} dx = {(tan⁻¹x)²}*(x²/2) + (tan⁻¹x)²/2 - x*(tan⁻¹x) + (1/2)*ln|1 + x²| + C

Except the integral is $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \int{ \frac{x\arctan^2{(x)}}{1 + x^2}\,dx} \end{align*}$, not $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \int{ \frac{x^2\arctan{(x)}}{1 + x^2}\,dx} \end{align*}$.

The second of those integrals is the one that occurs in comment #3 above.
 

FAQ: Integrating xarctg2x Using Integration by Parts

What is the formula for integrating arctangent by parts?

The formula for integrating arctangent by parts is ∫arctan(x)dx = x⋅arctan(x) - ∫(1 / (1 + x^2))dx.

How do you choose which part to integrate and which part to differentiate when using the integration by parts method for arctangent?

When using the integration by parts method for arctangent, you want to choose the part that becomes simpler after integration and the part that remains after differentiation. In other words, choose the part that will eventually lead to an integral that is easier to solve.

Can the integration by parts method be used for other trigonometric functions besides arctangent?

Yes, the integration by parts method can be used for other trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tangent. The general formula for integration by parts is ∫u(x)v'(x)dx = u(x)v(x) - ∫v(x)u'(x)dx.

What is the purpose of using the integration by parts method for arctangent?

The integration by parts method allows us to solve integrals that cannot be easily solved with other methods. It is particularly useful for integrals involving products of functions, such as arctangent.

Are there any specific rules or techniques to follow when using the integration by parts method for arctangent?

Yes, there are a few rules to follow when using the integration by parts method for arctangent. These include choosing the correct parts to integrate and differentiate, using trigonometric identities to simplify the integral, and repeating the process until the integral is in a form that can be easily solved.
