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

$\blacksquare$
