heres the solution.
 
first letus convert the integralto taninverse.
then we get,
 
 
[ ][ ] tan-1  (x\a)   dx
 
now substitute
 
x = a tan2 y.
 
dx = 2 *  a  *   (tan y ) (sec2 y )
 
the integral becomes,
 
     2a   y tan y sec 2 y   dy
 
nowapply parts.
take tan y  sec 2 y as dv.
 
 
[ ][ ] dv =    [ ][ ]  tan y  sec2 y dy
 
which is equal to
 
tan2 y \ 2.
 
then the final integral becomes by applyingparts,
 
2a  {  (y tan2 y )\2  -   1\2     tan 2 y dy  }     ( write tan 2y as 1-sec2 y)
 
which is
 
2a { (y tan 2 y) \2 - 1\2  (y - tan y ) }  + c
 
replace y by   tan -1  (x\a)
 
thu sthe answer is
 
 a tan -1  (x\a) * (x\a) -  a ( tan -1   (x\a)  -   ( x\a)   + c
