@zepdrix

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Find integral of arctan(1/x)Dx from 1 to square root 3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Umm so how do we start? Probably parts, ya?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yeah :(

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\(\large\rm u=arctan\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\qquad\qquad\qquad dv=dx\)

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Omg :(

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I always put like cos or sin or whatever and than the inside as the other part :(

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh, like you accidentally put dv=1/x dx or something like that?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ya, that's no bueno. Find your \(\large\rm du\) and \(\large\rm v\).

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So v=x and du=1/(1+1/x^2))

zepdrix (zepdrix):

No, you forgot to chain rule on your du.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm \left(\arctan\frac{1}{x}\right)'\quad=\quad\frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^2}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)'\]

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Ughhhh

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Calc is a struggle

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The struggle is real.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

It is

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Derivative of 1/x is -x^-2

zepdrix (zepdrix):

-1/x^2 ok good.\[\large\rm \left(\arctan\frac{1}{x}\right)'\quad=\quad\frac{-\frac{1}{x^2}}{1+\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^2}\]We should simplify this before proceeding, any ideas?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Hmmmm

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

well we can square than cancel?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

We don't like fractions on top of fractions. So we would like to multiply the numerator and denominator by the `Least Common Multiple` of these denominators. It turns out that both denominators are x^2, ya?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes!

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm \left(\arctan\frac{1}{x}\right)'\quad=\quad\frac{-\frac{1}{x^2}}{1+\frac{1}{x^2}}\color{royalblue}{\frac{x^2}{x^2}}\]So give an x^2 to the numerator and denominator.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Understand how that will get us to this point?\[\large\rm \left(\arctan\frac{1}{x}\right)'\quad=\quad\frac{-1}{x^2+1}\]

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm \int\limits_1^{\sqrt3}\arctan\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)dx\]And we've chosen our parts as such,\[\large\rm u=\arctan\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\qquad\qquad\qquad dv=dx\]\[\large\rm du=\frac{-1}{1+x^2}dx\qquad\qquad\quad\qquad v=x\]

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ok plug in the stuff :o do the things

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Lol I wish I had equation

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Arctan(1/x)(x) Integral (x)(-1/x^2+1)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ok let's combine the negatives,\[\large\rm x \arctan\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+\int\limits\frac{x}{1+x^2}dx\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So uh, how bout that new integral? Any ideas?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Well move the (x^2+1) to the top to be a negative power?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

And then what? Parts again? That doesn't seem great.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Hmmm

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Wait

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

1/1+x^2 is arctan?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yes, but that would occur by doing parts... and that would effectively `undo` the parts that we first did. So that idea is not going to work.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I give up

zepdrix (zepdrix):

u-substitution.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Ohhhhh yeah

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Will you get ln in this?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

1/2 integral ln(x^2+1)?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Oops no integral

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ya that looks great.\[\large\rm x \arctan\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+\frac{1}{2}\ln|1+x^2|\]Now we need to evaluate this at our limits.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Fun :/

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I don't wanna type it :/

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Square root 3arctan(1/square root 3)+1/2ln|1+(square root 3)^2

zepdrix (zepdrix):

lol

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I don't wanna type it either -_- I'll draw it I guess

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay :)
