Answer

$\int_{1}^{2} arctan~x~dx~~$ has the largest value since $~~arctan~x \gt arctan \sqrt{x} \gt arctan(sin~x)~~$ on the interval $~~1 \lt x \leq 2$

Work Step by Step

On the interval $1 \lt x \leq 2$: $x \gt \sqrt{x} \gt sin~x$ $arctan~x \gt arctan \sqrt{x} \gt arctan(sin~x)$ Therefore: $\int_{1}^{2} arctan~x~dx \gt \int_{1}^{2} arctan\sqrt{x} \gt \int_{1}^{2} arctan(sin~x)$ $\int_{1}^{2} arctan~x~dx$ has the largest value since $arctan~x \gt arctan \sqrt{x} \gt arctan(sin~x)$ on the interval $1 \lt x \leq 2$
