Integrate by parts with u=tan⁡−1x, dv=x dxu=\tan^{-1}x,\ dv=x\,dx.

u=tan⁡−1x, dv=x dx⇒du=dx1+x2, v=x22u=\tan^{-1}x,\ dv=x\,dx \Rightarrow du=\dfrac{dx}{1+x^2},\ v=\dfrac{x^2}{2}

∫xtan⁡−1x dx=x22tan⁡−1x−∫x22(1+x2) dx\displaystyle\int x\tan^{-1}x\,dx=\dfrac{x^2}{2}\tan^{-1}x-\int\dfrac{x^2}{2(1+x^2)}\,dx

=x22tan⁡−1x−12∫(1−11+x2)dx=\dfrac{x^2}{2}\tan^{-1}x-\dfrac12\int\left(1-\dfrac{1}{1+x^2}\right)dx
