Primitive of x by Arccotangent of x over a

Theorem

 * $\displaystyle \int x \operatorname{arccot} \frac x a \ \mathrm d x = \frac {x^2 + a^2} 2 \operatorname{arccot} \frac x a + \frac {a x} 2 + C$

Proof
With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:
 * $\displaystyle \int u \frac {\mathrm d v}{\mathrm d x} \ \mathrm d x = u v - \int v \frac {\mathrm d u}{\mathrm d x} \ \mathrm d x$

let:

and let:

Then:
