1. Find the indefinite integral using substitution.
Let u=tan−12x. Then dxdu=1+4x22.
∫1+4x2(tan−12x)2dx=21∫(tan−12x)2(1+4x22)dx
=21∫u2du
=61u3+C
=61(tan−12x)3+C
2. Evaluate the definite integral to obtain the formula in terms of $n$.
∫21n1+4x2(tan−12x)2dx=[61(tan−12x)3]21n
=61(tan−12n)3−61(tan−11)3
=61(tan−12n)3−61(4π)3
=61(tan−12n)3−384π3
3. Evaluate the integral to infinity by taking the limit as $n \to \infty$.
As n→∞, tan−12n→2π.
∫21∞1+4x2(tan−12x)2dx=n→∞lim(61(tan−12n)3−384π3)
=61(2π)3−384π3
=48π3−384π3
=3848π3−π3
=3847π3
答案Formula: 61(tan−12n)3−384π3
Exact value: 3847π3
