Answer

$$ \int_{0}^{\pi / 8} \arctan 2 x d x=\frac{\pi}{8} \arctan \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{4} \ln \left(1+\frac{\pi^{2}}{16}\right) $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \int_{0}^{\pi / 8} \arctan 2 x d x $$ Let $$ u=2 x \quad d u=2d x $$ and at $$ x=\pi / 8 \rightarrow u=\pi / 4, \quad x=0 \rightarrow u=0 $$ If we look at the Table of Integrals , we see that the closest entry is number $89$ : $$ \begin{aligned} \int_{0}^{\pi / 8} \arctan 2 x d x &=\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \arctan u d u \quad[u=2 x, d u=2 d x] \\ & \stackrel{89}{=} \frac{1}{2}\left[u \arctan u-\frac{1}{2} \ln \left(1+u^{2}\right)\right]_{0}^{\pi / 4}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\left[\frac{\pi}{4} \arctan \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{2} \ln \left(1+\frac{\pi^{2}}{16}\right)\right]-0\right\} \\ &=\frac{\pi}{8} \arctan \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{4} \ln \left(1+\frac{\pi^{2}}{16}\right) \end{aligned} $$
