By parts with u=log⁡(x2+1)u=\log(x^2+1), dv=dxdv=dx (so v=xv=x): ∫log⁡(x2+1)dx=xlog⁡(x2+1)−∫x⋅2xx2+1dx=xlog⁡(x2+1)−2∫x2x2+1dx\int\log(x^2+1)dx=x\log(x^2+1)-\int x\cdot\frac{2x}{x^2+1}dx=x\log(x^2+1)-2\int\frac{x^2}{x^2+1}dx. Since x2x2+1=1−1x2+1\frac{x^2}{x^2+1}=1-\frac{1}{x^2+1}, ∫x2x2+1dx=x−tan⁡−1x\int\frac{x^2}{x^2+1}dx=x-\tan^{-1}x. So the integral …
