Answer

$$\displaystyle\int{\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x^2}dx}\\=\ln \left| \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}} \right|-\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x}+C$$

Work Step by Step

$ I=\displaystyle\int{\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x^2}dx}\\ I=\displaystyle\int{x^{-2}\tan ^{-1}x}\ dx\\ $ $\displaystyle{\left[\begin{matrix} u=\tan ^{-1}x& du=\frac{1}{1+x^2}\\ dv=x^{-2}& v=-x^{-1}\\ \end{matrix}\right]} $ $\displaystyle I=-\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x}-\int{-\frac{1}{x\left( 1+x^2 \right)}dx}\\ \displaystyle I=-\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x}+\int{\frac{1}{x\left( 1+x^2 \right)}dx}\\ \displaystyle I=-\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x}\color{orangered}{+\int{\frac{1}{x\left( 1+x^2 \right)}dx}}\\$ $ \displaystyle\color{orangered}{\int{\frac{1}{x\left( 1+x^2 \right)}dx}}$ $\displaystyle{\left[\begin{matrix} x=\tan \theta& x^2=\tan ^2\theta& dx=\sec ^2\theta \ d\theta\\ \end{matrix}\right]}$ $\displaystyle\int{\frac{1}{\tan \theta \left( 1+\tan ^2\theta \right)}\sec ^2\theta \ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle\int{\frac{1}{\tan \theta \sec ^2\theta}\sec ^2\theta \,\,d\theta}\\ \displaystyle\int{\frac{1}{\tan \theta}\,\,d\theta}\\ \displaystyle\int{\cot \theta \ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle\color{orangered}{-\ln \left| \csc\theta \right|}$ $\displaystyle I=-\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x}\color{orangered}{-\ln \left| \csc\theta \right|}+C\\ \displaystyle I=-\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x}-\ln \left| \csc\theta \right|+C$ $\csc\theta =\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x}$ $\displaystyle I=-\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x}-\ln \left| \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x} \right|+C\\ \displaystyle I=\ln \left| \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}} \right|-\frac{\tan ^{-1}x}{x}+C$
