Answer

$2\pi^2$

Work Step by Step

Plug $p=\tan^{-1} x \implies dp=\dfrac{dv}{1+x^2}$ Re-arrange the given integral as follows: $\int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{16 \tan^{-1} x dx}{1+x^2}=\int_{0}^{\pi/2} 16 p dp$ ....(1) Then, we have $\int_{0}^{\pi/2} 16 p dp=[8p^2]_{0}^{\pi/2}$ Thus, equation (1) becomes $8(\dfrac{\pi}{2})^2=2\pi^2$
