Answer

$\ln |1+\dfrac{\pi}{2}|$

Work Step by Step

Plug $p=1+\tan^{-1} v \implies dp=\dfrac{dv}{1+v^2}$ Re-arrange the given integral as follows: $\int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{dv}{(1+v^2)(1+\tan^{-1} v)}=\int_{1}^{1+\pi/2} \dfrac{dp}{(p)}$ ....(1) Then, we have $\int_{1}^{1+\pi/2} \dfrac{dp}{(p)}=[\ln p]_{1}^{1+\pi/2}$ Thus, equation (1) becomes $\ln |1+\dfrac{\pi}{2}|-\ln |1|=\ln |1+\dfrac{\pi}{2}|$
