The Rule: . arctan. OR . arctan. Putting everything together: . Use this rule when you have a fraction of the form: where the polynomial in the denominator does . not factor and the fraction is not in the correct form to turn into an . Example: evaluate . From the example above we know that .
The most common integrands contain patterns with the forms a2 – x2, a2 + x2, and x2 – a2 where a is constant, and it is worthwhile to have general integral patterns for these forms. ⌡⌠ 1 a2 – x2 dx = arcsin( x a ) + C ( for | x | < | a | ) ⌡⌠ 1 a2 + x2 dx = a arctan( x a ) + C ( for all x and for a ≠ 0 ) ⌡⌠ 1 |x| x2 – a2
We see that arctan(z) varies linearly with z for small z starting with value zero and becomes non-linear in its variation with increasing z, eventually approaching Pi/2 as Pi/2-1/z as z approaches infinity.
the arctangent function has been ubiquitous in calculations of π. While formulas like. (1) have been heavily explored [1], we seek formulas that link π with a linear combi-nation of arctangents of general arguments. The simplest example is the well-known equation. π 1. = arctan(x) + arctan. 2 x. (2) for all x > 0.

Integrals of Trigonometric Functions. ∫ sin x dx = − cos x + C. ∫ cos x dx = sin x + C. ∫ tan x dx = ln sec x + C. ∫ sec x dx = ln tan x + sec x + C. ∫ 1. sin. 2. x dx = ( x − sin x cos x ) + C.
Exercise 4: Which of the following two integrals requires the arctangent rule, and which requires nothing more than basic u -substitution? Determine each indefinite integral.
