integral of xarctanxdx using integration by parts.

∫x arctan x dx

u = arctan x
du = 1/(1+x^2)

dv = x dx
v = 1/2 x^2

∫ x arctan x dx = 1/2 x^2 arctan x - ∫ 1/2 x^2 * 1/(1+x^2) dx
= 1/2 (x^2 arctan(x) - ∫x^2/(1+x^2) dx)

now, x^2/(1+x^2) = 1 - 1/(1+x^2)

∫x^2/(1+x^2) dx = ∫ 1 - 1/(1+x^2) dx
= x - arctan(x)

so we wind up with

1/2 (x^2 arctan(x) - (x - arctan(x)))
= 1/2 ((1+x^2)arctan(x) - x) + C

∫xarctan(x) dx

Integration by parts:

∫vdu = vu - ∫udv

Where:
v = arctan(x) du = xdx
dv = 1/(x^2 + 1)dx u = x^2/2

∫xarctan(x)dx = (x^2/2)arctan(x) - ∫(x^2)/2(x^2 + 1)dx

Factor out constants:

(1/2)x^2arctan(x) - (1/2)∫x^2/(x^2+1)dx

Long division in the integrand:

(1/2)x^2arctan(x) - (1/2)∫(1-(1/(x^2+1))dx

Separate integrand:

(1/2)x^2arctan(x) - (1/2)∫1dx -(1/2)∫1/(x^2+1)dx

Integrate:

(1/2)x^2arctan(x) - (x/2) - (1/2)arctan(x) + C

Factor:

(1/2)(x^2arctan(x) - x - arctan(x)) + C

Complete:

∫xarctan(x)dx = (1/2)(x^2arctan(x)-x-arctan(x)) + C

thank you so much! I was getting stuck at the long division part.

To find the integral of x * arctan(x) dx using integration by parts, we'll need to follow the integration by parts formula:

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du,

where u and v represent two functions of x. In our case, we'll let u = arctan(x) and dv = x dx.

Step 1: Differentiate u
To find du (the derivative of u), we'll use the chain rule:
du = (1 / (1 + x^2)) * dx.

Step 2: Integrate dv
To find v (the integral of dv), we'll integrate x dx:
∫ x dx = (1/2) x^2 + C.

Now that we have u, du, v, and dv, we can substitute them into the integration by parts formula:

∫ x * arctan(x) dx = uv - ∫ v du,

∫ x * arctan(x) dx = arctan(x) * [(1/2) x^2 + C] - ∫ [(1/2) x^2 + C] * (1 / (1 + x^2)) dx.

Simplifying this expression, we get:

∫ x * arctan(x) dx = (1/2) x^2 * arctan(x) + C1 - (1/2) ∫ x^2 / (1 + x^2) dx - ∫ C / (1 + x^2) dx.

Now, let's solve each integral separately:

∫ x^2 / (1 + x^2) dx:
To solve this integral, we can use a substitution. Let u = 1 + x^2, then du = 2x dx. Rearranging the terms, dx = (1 / 2x) du. Substituting back into the integral:

∫ x^2 / (1 + x^2) dx = ∫ (x^2 * (1 / 2x)) du,
∫ x^2 / (1 + x^2) dx = (1/2) ∫ 1 du,
∫ x^2 / (1 + x^2) dx = (1/2) u + C2.

∫ C / (1 + x^2) dx:
This integral is straightforward since C is just a constant. It integrates to:

∫ C / (1 + x^2) dx = C ∫ 1 / (1 + x^2) dx,
∫ C / (1 + x^2) dx = C arctan(x) + C3.

Substituting all our results back into the previous expression, we get:

∫ x * arctan(x) dx = (1/2) x^2 * arctan(x) + C1 - (1/4) u - C2 arctan(x) - C3,

Simplifying further,

∫ x * arctan(x) dx = (1/2) x^2 * arctan(x) - (1/4) (1 + x^2) - C2 arctan(x) - C3,

which can be written as:

∫ x * arctan(x) dx = (1/2) x^2 * arctan(x) - (1/4) - (1/4) x^2 - C2 arctan(x) - C3.

So, the final answer is (1/2) x^2 * arctan(x) - (1/4) - (1/4) x^2 - C2 arctan(x) - C3, where C1, C2, and C3 are constants of integration.
