Active Calculus 2nd Ed

Activity 5.4.3.
Evaluate each of the following indefinite integrals, using the provided hints.
(a)
Evaluate \(\int \arctan(x) \, dx\) by using integration by parts with the substitution \(u = \arctan(x)\) and \(dv = 1 \, dx\text{.}\)
(b)
Evaluate \(\int \ln(z) \,dz\text{.}\) Consider a similar substitution to the one in (a).
(c)
Use the substitution \(z = t^2\) to transform the integral \(\int t^3 \sin(t^2) \, dt\) to a new integral in the variable \(z\text{,}\) and evaluate that new integral by parts.
(d)
Evaluate \(\int s^5 e^{s^3} \, ds\) using an approach similar to that described in (c).
(e)
Evaluate \(\int e^{2t} \cos(e^t) \, dt\text{.}\) You will find it helpful to note that \(e^{2t} = e^t \cdot e^t\text{.}\)
