    The document introduces a parameter b to solve an integral involving fractions of x^2 terms. It then uses trigonometric substitutions of tan^-1(x/a) and tan^-1(x/b) to evaluate the integral into a closed form solution involving ratios of a and b. When a equals b, the integral simplifies to 4a^3/π.
