Worked solution

2(a)

1. Differentiate the substitution equation to find the differential relationship between $x$ and $t$.

t=ext = e^{x}
dtdx=ex\frac{dt}{dx} = e^{x}
dt=ex dxdt = e^{x}\,dx

2. Rewrite the integral to isolate the differential $e^x dx$ and apply the substitution.

∫e2x tan⁡−1(ex) dx=∫ex tan⁡−1(ex)⋅(ex dx)\int e^{2x}\,\tan^{-1}(e^{x})\,dx = \int e^{x}\,\tan^{-1}(e^{x}) \cdot (e^{x}\,dx)
Substituting t=ext = e^{x} and dt=ex dxdt = e^{x}\,dx:
=∫t tan⁡−1(t) dt(shown)= \int t\,\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt \quad \text{(shown)}

Answer

∫t tan⁡−1(t) dt\int t\,\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt

2(b)

1. Change the limits of integration according to the substitution $t = e^x$.

When x=0x = 0, t=e0=1t = e^0 = 1.
When x=1x = 1, t=e1=et = e^1 = e.
Using the result from part (a):
∫01e2xtan⁡−1(ex) dx=∫1ettan⁡−1(t) dt\int_{0}^{1} e^{2x}\tan^{-1}(e^x)\,dx = \int_{1}^{e} t\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt

2. Apply integration by parts to the new integral.

Let u=tan⁡−1(t)u = \tan^{-1}(t) and dvdt=t\frac{dv}{dt} = t.
Then dudt=11+t2\frac{du}{dt} = \frac{1}{1+t^2} and v=12t2v = \frac{1}{2}t^2.
∫ttan⁡−1(t) dt=12t2tan⁡−1(t)−12∫t21+t2 dt\int t\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt = \frac{1}{2}t^2\tan^{-1}(t) - \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{t^2}{1+t^2}\,dt

3. Integrate the remaining rational function by rewriting the numerator.

Notice that t21+t2=(t2+1)−11+t2=1−11+t2\frac{t^2}{1+t^2} = \frac{(t^2+1)-1}{1+t^2} = 1 - \frac{1}{1+t^2}.
∫t21+t2 dt=∫(1−11+t2) dt=t−tan⁡−1(t)\int \frac{t^2}{1+t^2}\,dt = \int \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1+t^2} \right)\,dt = t - \tan^{-1}(t)

4. Evaluate the definite integral using the upper and lower limits.

∫1ettan⁡−1(t) dt=[12t2tan⁡−1(t)−12(t−tan⁡−1(t))]1e\int_{1}^{e} t\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt = \left[ \frac{1}{2}t^2\tan^{-1}(t) - \frac{1}{2}\bigl(t - \tan^{-1}(t)\bigr) \right]_{1}^{e}
=[12(t2+1)tan⁡−1(t)−12t]1e= \left[ \frac{1}{2}(t^2+1)\tan^{-1}(t) - \frac{1}{2}t \right]_{1}^{e}
Substituting the upper and lower limits:
=(12(e2+1)tan⁡−1(e)−12e)−(12(12+1)tan⁡−1(1)−12(1))= \left( \frac{1}{2}(e^2+1)\tan^{-1}(e) - \frac{1}{2}e \right) - \left( \frac{1}{2}(1^2+1)\tan^{-1}(1) - \frac{1}{2}(1) \right)
Since tan⁡−1(1)=π4\tan^{-1}(1) = \frac{\pi}{4}:
=12(e2+1)tan⁡−1(e)−12e−(1⋅π4−12)= \frac{1}{2}(e^2+1)\tan^{-1}(e) - \frac{1}{2}e - \left( 1 \cdot \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \right)
=12(e2+1)tan⁡−1(e)−12e−π4+12= \frac{1}{2}(e^2+1)\tan^{-1}(e) - \frac{1}{2}e - \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2}

Answer

12(e2+1)tan⁡−1(e)−12e−π4+12\frac{1}{2}(e^2+1)\tan^{-1}(e) - \frac{1}{2}e - \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2}
