Explanation:

Use the u substitution.

u = x

du = 12x dx

2du = 1x dx

Write the new formula after the u substitution.

2 tan1(u) du

Use table 89 to find the integral of 2tan1(u).

2 tan1(u) du
= 2[u tan1(u) - 12 ln(1 + u2)] + C

Replace the u variable back in the terms of x.

= 2[x tan1(x) - 12 ln(1 + x2)] + C

Simplify the answer.

= 2[x tan1(x) - 12 ln(1 + x)] + C

= 2x tan1(x) - ln(1 + x) + C
