Question

Let f be a continuous function satisfying

 f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y), for each x,yR

and f(1)=2 then f(x)tan1x1+x22dx is equal to 

Moderate
Solution

First show that f(x)=2x. Now , 

I=f(x)tan1x1+x22dx=2x1+x22tan1xdx 

Put x=tanθ , so that

I=2tanθsec4θθsec2θdθ=θsin(2θ)dθ=12θcos2θ+14sin2θ+C=C12θ1tan2θ1+tan2θ+12tanθ1+tan2θ=C121x21+x2tan1x+12x1+x2

=C11+x2tan1x+12tan1x+12x1+x2
