$\int_{-1}^1 \frac{x^2 e^{\tan^{-1}{x}}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$d$x$

Hint because I'm short on time:

$$ (1) Use IBP originally with $ u=x$

$$ (2) Integrate v by letting $ \tan{\theta} =x$

$(3) This can now be integrated by the use of two IBP's$

$(4) Now to integrate $ -u'v $ We also do integration by parts twice$

$(5) Sub in values to obtain the answer$

$Note : This is the first method that popped into my head, there's probably an easier way.$

u=1/x along the the identity atan(x)+atan(1/x)=pi/2 may be fruitful for this particular integral.

Yeah I didnt see this because his original integral was indefinite.

$\noindent Let $f(x)=\frac{\alpha}{\lambda} \left(\frac{x}{\lambda}\right)^{\alpha-1}\mathrm{e}^{-\left(\frac{x}{\lambda}\right)^{\alpha}}$ for $x>0$, where $\alpha,\lambda$ are positive constants.$

$\noindent For $x>0$, find $F(x) \equiv \int _0 ^x f(t)\text{ d}t$.$

$$\noindent By inspection, reverse chain rule, substitution or whatever you wish to use to make yourself seem pretentious, the answer is $\\F(x) \equiv 1-e^{-\left(\frac{x}{\lambda}\right)^{\alpha}}$

$$b) $\int_{0}^1 \frac{x^2 e^{\tan^{-1}{x}}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$d$x$

$$\noindent Consider the integral $I= \int^1_{-a} \frac{x^2 e^{\tan^{-1} x}}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}} \, dx,$ where $0 \leqslant a \leqslant 1.$

$$\noindent Let $x = \tan u, dx = \sec^2 u \, du.$ Limits: $ x = 1, u = \pi/4$ and $x = -a, u = -\tan^{-1}(a) = \alpha.$ So$

$\begin{align*}I &= \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha \frac{\tan^2 u e^u}{\sqrt{\tan^2 u + 1}} \cdot \sec^2 \, du\\ &= \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \tan^2 u \sec u \, du\\ &= \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u (\sec^2 u - 1) \sec u \, du\\ &= \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \sec^3 u \, du - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \sec u \, du\\ &= \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha \sec^2 u \cdot e^u \sec u \, du - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \sec u \, du\\ &= \left [\tan u \cdot e^u \sec u \right ]^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha \tan u (e^u \sec u + e^u \sec u \tan u) \, du - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \sec u \, du \quad \mbox{(by parts)}\\ &=\sqrt{2} e^{\frac{\pi}{4}} - \tan \alpha e^\alpha \sec \alpha - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \tan u \sec u \, du - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \tan^2 u \sec u \, du -\int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \sec u \, du\end{align*}$

$$\noindent Thus$\\\begin{align*}\Rightarrow 2I &= \sqrt{2} e^{\frac{\pi}{4}} - \tan \alpha e^\alpha \sec \alpha - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \tan u \sec u \, du - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \sec u \, du\\ &=\sqrt{2} e^{\frac{\pi}{4}} - \tan \alpha e^\alpha \sec \alpha - \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \tan u \sec u \, du - \left [e^u \sec u \right ]^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha + \int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_\alpha e^u \tan u \sec u \, du \quad \mbox{(by parts)}\\&=\sqrt{2} e^{\frac{\pi}{4}} - \tan \alpha e^\alpha \sec \alpha -\sqrt{2} e^{\frac{\pi}{4}} + e^\alpha \sec \alpha\\ &= e^\alpha \sec \alpha (1 - \tan \alpha)\end{align*}$

$$\noindent Thus $I = \frac{1}{2} e^\alpha \sec \alpha (1 - \tan \alpha).$

$$\noindent For (a): $a = 1, \alpha = -\tan^{-1} (1) = -\frac{\pi}{4}$, thus $I = \sqrt{2} e^{-\frac{\pi}{4}}.$

$$\noindent For (b): $a = 0, \alpha = 0$, thus $I = \frac{1}{2}.$

do you mean $\frac{\log{(x+1)}}{x^2+1}$ ? Also the integral according to wolfram isn't the same as yours.
EDIT: NVM they used ln not log my bad.

Can someone explain to me from step 2 and onwards? I'm a little confused? I know that cis(2x) - cis(-2x) is -2isin(2x) but like???

$Instead of using demoivre's theorem straight away that is : $ (rcis{\theta})^n= r^ncis{(n\theta)} $ He used binomial expansion and then used demoivre's theorem.$

$$ You're allowed to do this because an even power removes the imaginary term and thus allows the integral to be integrated. ( Obviously in complex integrals we can separate the imaginary terms and real and integrate separately but that's not HSC level.)$

The straight forward way is to just let $u=\log{1-e^x}$ and the use IBP. But im guessing there's an easier way? Like reverse quotient rule +- a constant ?

That substitution looks unwieldy. Are you sure that's easier than doing a normal substitution?

The fastest way my mind suggests is to integrate by parts directly to remove the logarithm, then perform the obvious substitution OR simplify then perform the less obvious substitution.

I've just started integration 4u, and am looking through this read from the beginning. How do you guys do Integration by Parts so quickly? I'm sick and tired of writing u and u' and v' and v
