Theorem
- $\ds \int \arctan a x \rd x = x \arctan a x - \dfrac 1 {2 a} \map \ln {1 + a^2 x^2} + C$
Proof
\(\ds \int \arctan x \rd x\) | \(=\) | \(\ds x \arctan x - \dfrac 1 2 \map \ln {1 + x^2} + C\) | Primitive of $\arctan x$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \int \arctan a x \rd x\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \dfrac 1 a \paren {\paren {a x} \arctan a x - \dfrac 1 2 \map \ln {1 + a^2 x^2} } + C\) | Primitive of Function of Constant Multiple | ||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds x \arctan a x - \dfrac 1 {2 a} \map \ln {1 + a^2 x^2} + C\) | simplifying |
