$$intfracx^2sec^2x(x tanx+1)^2,mathrmdx$$
I tried the online available calculators but they cannot calculate the answer or provide the solution.

What online calculators are you using, exactly? WolframAlpha does it smoothly.

Wolfram cannot calculate the solution though :(

You mean show you the steps? Technically it can (I think it costs money), but you don't need to. Take the answer as given on WA, differentiate it, get $fracx^2sec^2x(xtan x+1)^2$, then do the steps in reverse, and you have your solution.

This is basically working backwards, like @Arthur suggests:
beginalign
fracx^2sec^2 x(xtan x+1)^2 &= fracx^2left(xfracsin xcos x + 1right)^2cos^2 x\
&= fracx^2(xsin x + cos x)^2\
&= fracx^2(sin^2 x + cos ^2 x) - xcos xsin x + x cos xsin x(xsin x + cos x)^2\
&= fracxsin x(x sin x + cos x) - (sin x - xcos x)xcos x(xsin x + cos x)^2\
&= frac(sin x - xcos x)'(x sin x + cos x) - (sin x - xcos x)(xsin x + cos x)'(xsin x + cos x)^2\
&= left(fracsin x - xcos xx sin x + cos xright)'
endalign
so $$int fracx^2sec^2 x(xtan x+1)^2 ,dx = fracsin x - xcos xx sin x + cos x$$

Don't you just love it when the numerator takes exactly as much space as the denominator? :)
