integrate by parts.

let $u = tan^-1(x)$, and let $dv = x dx$. Then proceed.

These questions look like they could be part of an assignment that counts towards your final grade. MHF policy is to not knowingly help with such questions as they are meant to be the work of the student not the work of others.
