x=tan1 to x=inf... the integral is zero. (as taninv (x) becomes greater than 1 and to power inf. becomes inf.. and anything divided by inf = 0)

at x=0 to x<tan1 the integral is simply integral of cosx (as taninv(x) is less than 1 and less than 1 to power inf = 0)

i.e. sin(x) from x=0 to tan1

=> the reqd integral is sin(tan1)
