Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 91–102.
99. ∫1/(√x (x+1)((arctan√x)²+9)) dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by identifying a substitution that simplifies the integral. Notice the presence of \( \sqrt{x} \) inside the integral and in the arctan function. Let \( t = \sqrt{x} \), which implies \( x = t^2 \).
Compute the differential \( dx \) in terms of \( dt \). Since \( x = t^2 \), then \( dx = 2t \, dt \).
Rewrite the integral in terms of \( t \). Substitute \( \sqrt{x} = t \), \( x + 1 = t^2 + 1 \), and \( (\arctan \sqrt{x})^2 + 9 = (\arctan t)^2 + 9 \). Also replace \( dx \) with \( 2t \, dt \).
Simplify the integral expression after substitution. Notice that the \( \sqrt{x} = t \) in the denominator and the \( 2t \, dt \) in the numerator will allow some terms to cancel out, making the integral easier to handle.
Consider a second substitution to handle the \( (\arctan t)^2 + 9 \) term. Let \( u = \arctan t \), then \( du = \frac{1}{1 + t^2} dt \). Use this to rewrite the integral entirely in terms of \( u \) and \( du \), which should simplify the integral to a rational function in \( u \).

Properties and Derivatives of the Arctangent Function

Understanding the arctangent function and its derivative is crucial, as the integral contains (arctan(√x))². The derivative of arctan(u) is 1/(1+u²), which helps in recognizing patterns and applying substitution or integration by parts effectively.
