antiderivative of arctan(2x)dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use integration by parts, let u = arctan(2x), let dv = dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

int(udv) = uv - int(vdu)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah..du=1/1+x^2 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/1 + x^2, dont forget the chain rule!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh yeah..got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess i have to memorize all the trig identiities and derivitaves and antiderivative..it sux my exam is 2moro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u should get, xarctan(2x) - ln abs(1 _ x^2) + C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 + x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

medal please lol

Alternative method. Let 2x be theta. Make a right triangle of theta where 2x is opposite, 1 is adjacent. New antiderivative is antiderivative of tan of theta. After antiderivative go back to the triangle to change to original values.
