Hint. Integration by parts is a nice route, $$ \begin{align} \int \dfrac{3x^2-1}{2x\sqrt{x}}\arctan(x){\rm d}x&=\int \left(\frac{3\sqrt{x}}{2}-\frac1{2x^{3/2}} \right)\arctan(x){\rm d}x \\\\&=\left(x^{3/2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)\arctan(x)-\int \left(\frac{x^2+1}{\sqrt{x}} \right)\left(\arctan(x)\right)'{\rm d}x \end{align} $$ Can you finish it?
