I just wonder if this requires expansions - expansion of ln(1+x), where x=sin2θ.

given is 2\int_{0}^{1}{(tan^{-1}x)^{2}}dx
\Rightarrow 2\int_{0}^{1}{(tan^{-1}x)(tan^{-1}x)}dx
taking first funtion any one and integrating byparts we get
\Rightarrow\left[ 2\left[tan^{-1}x\int{tan^{-1}x}dx \right]^{1}_{0}-2\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{\int tan^{-1}x}{1+x^{2}}}dx\right]
\Rightarrow 2\left[x(tan^{-1}x)^{2}-\frac{1}{2}ln(1+x^{2}) . tan^{-1}x \right]^{1}_{0} - 2\left[\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{xtan^{-1}x}{1+x^{2}}dx} -\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{ln(1+x^{2})}{1+x^{2}}dx}\right]
I thnk now it can be done integrate \int_{0}^{1}{\frac{xtan^{-1}x}{1+x^{2}}} by using by parts and \int_{0}^{1}{\frac{ln(1+x^{2})}{1+x^{2}}dx} can be integrated
hence i guess the question is demolished isn't it
yup i got my mistake and edited that [ made a mistake in 2nd step earlier ] sry [3]
but since i typed that once
once again try karne ka man nahin hai............
If my approach is correct then please tell me..............or shuld i try this in other way
sry again for a silly mistake .............but edited now.......
i thnk for that log part again we got to use by parts .
Well i havent got this one....so cant say much.
but u all know what.....my cousin asked me this one.. day before yesterday and he says this has come in 12th board exam..
This sum indeed came in CBSE boards two years ago. However, it was a misprint and marks were given to all who tried. This integral is not easy to be asked in the boards and the result is something like
\dfrac{\pi}{8}(\pi+4\ln 2)-2G
where G is the Catalan constant.
but i got it as \frac{\pi }{4}\left(\pi +1 \right)-\frac{1}{2}ln2\left[\frac{\pi }{2}+1 \right]-2
@kaymant sir wuld u please elaborate a bit abt CATALAN CONSTANT. heard of it first time [7]
Catalan's constant is a constant that commonly appears in estimates of combinatorial functions and in certain classes of sums and definite integrals
is a catalant's constant.
ok fine sir...
@manmay u wud hav surely be again doing some mistake thats why u r getting an anwer :P
Somewhere I read that this catalan const. is -\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{lnx}{1+x^2}dx}.
