# Integrate the function $\sin^{-1}\bigg(\large\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\bigg)$

$\begin{array}{1 1} 2x \tan^{-1}x- \log |1+x^2|+c \\ 2x \cos^{-1}x- \log |1+x^2|+c \\2x \cos^{-1}x+ \log |1+x^2|+c \\ 2x \cos^{-1}x- \log |1-x^2|+c \end{array}$

Toolbox:
• Let u and v be two functions,such that the integral function is of the form $\int vdu,$ then it can be solved by the method of integration by parts.
• $\int udv=uv-\int vdu.$
• $\frac{d}{dx}(\tan x)=\sec^2x$
• $\int \sec^2 x=\tan x+c.$
Step 1:
Let $I=\int\sin^{-1}\bigg(\large\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\bigg)$$dx Substitute x=\tan\theta we get, I=\int \sin^{-1}\bigg(\large\frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}\bigg)$$dx$
We know that $\sin 2\theta=\large\frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}$
$\int \sin^{-1}(\sin 2\theta)dx$
$\Rightarrow \int\large\frac{1}{ \sin}\times$$\sin2\theta dx \Rightarrow 2\int \theta dx Step 2: We have x=\tan\theta \theta=\tan^{-1}x By substituting the value of \theta we get, 2\int \tan^{-1}xdx=2\tan^{-1}x\int dx-2\int\large\frac{d}{dx}$$\tan^{-1}x\int dx]dx$
By using integration by parts,
$I=2\tan^{-1}x.x-2\int \bigg[\large\frac{1}{1+x^2}$$x\bigg]dx Step 3: Put 1+x^2=t By differentiating with respect to x \Rightarrow 2x=\large\frac{dt}{dx} dx=\large\frac{dt}{2x} Step 4: I=2x\tan^{-1}x-2\int \bigg[\large\frac{x}{t}.\large\frac{dt}{2x}\bigg] \;\;=2x\tan^{-1}x-\int \large\frac{1}{t}$$dt$
$\;\;=2x\tan^{-1}x-\log \mid t\mid+c$
$I=2x\tan ^{-1}x-\log\mid 1+x^2\mid+c$
