Find the indefinite integral of \(\displaystyle \int \frac{10}{\left(x^{2} + 1\right) \tan^{-1}{\left(x \right)}^{3}}\, dx\).


Making the u substitution \(\displaystyle u = \tan^{-1}{\left(x \right)}\) gives \(\displaystyle du = \left(\frac{1}{x^{2} + 1}\right)dx\). Solving for \(\displaystyle dx\) gives \(\displaystyle dx = x^{2} + 1du\). Substituting in the values of \(\displaystyle u\) and \(\displaystyle du\) gives \(\displaystyle \int \left(\frac{10}{u^{3} \left(x^{2} + 1\right)}\right)\left(x^{2} + 1du\right)\). Simplifying gives the integral \(\displaystyle \int \frac{10}{u^{3}} du\). Integrating gives \(\displaystyle \int \frac{10}{u^{3}} du = - \frac{5}{u^{2}}+C\). Substituting \(\displaystyle u\) back in gives the solution \(\displaystyle - \frac{5}{\tan^{-1}{\left(x \right)}^{2}}+C\).
