    Integral
In summary, after finding the substitution t=1-x2, the integral becomes: x\sin^{-1}(x) - \cos(\sin^{-1}(x)) + C.

Hi, I'm from in Brasil and I need some help..
I have no sucess resolving Integral [ArcSin(x)]dx ..

Using Integration by parts, i don't kno what to do in expression 'c':

Integral [ArcSin(x)]dx = x.ArcSin(x) - Integral[x.(1 - x^2)^-1/2]
---------a---------- -----b----- ------------c-------------

How expression 'c' turns into only (1 - x^2)^1/2 ?

Thanks for all.

PS: excuse me for possible [a lot of] gramathical erros .. i don't speak english..:uhh:

[tex]I= \int \sin^{-1}(x)dx = x \sin^{-1}(x) - \int x (1-x^2)^{-1/2}dx[/tex]
Now use trig substitution:
[tex] x = \sin(t), dx = cos(t)dt[/tex]
[tex] I = x\sin^{-1}(x) - \int \sin(t)\cos(t)(1-\sin^2(t))^{-1/2}dt=\int \sin(t) \frac{\cos(t)}{\cos(t)}dt[/tex]
[tex] = x\sin^{-1}(x) - \int \sin(t)dt = x\sin^{-1}(x)-\cos(t)+C[/tex]***
[tex] = x\sin^{-1}(x) - \cos(\sin^{-1}(x)) + C[/tex]
[tex] = x\sin^{-1}(x) - \sqrt{1 - x^2} + C[/tex]

Or you can use a substitution immediately:
[tex]\int \sin^{-1}(x)dx = \int t \cos(t)dt[/tex]
where
[tex] x = sin(t)[/tex]
and then integrate by parts:
[tex] = \int t cos(t)dt= t\sin(t) - \int \sin(t)dt[/tex]
[tex] = \sin^{-1}(x) x - \int \sin(t)dt=x\sin^{-1}(x)-\cos(t)+C[/tex]
which is the same as (***) in the previous try.

You could also use the much easier substitution [tex] t=x^2 [/tex] to evaluate [tex] \int x (1-x^2)^{-1/2}dx[/tex] :smile:

And even better, you can try the substitution: t = 1 - x2. :)

All Right!

One more time, thanks for all.

VietDao29, I take your sugestion [so many simple and usefull] and
it works fine. Thank you.

See you..

Can someone explain this part please?

Use integration by parts, noting that:
[tex]\sin^{-1}(x)=1*\sin^{-1}(x)[/tex]
and:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\sin^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}[/tex]

1. What is the integral of ArcSin(x)?

The integral of ArcSin(x) is equal to x*ArcSin(x) + sqrt(1-x^2) + C, where C is a constant of integration.

2. How do you solve the integral of ArcSin(x)?

To solve the integral of ArcSin(x), you can use integration by parts or substitution. Integration by parts involves breaking down the integral into two parts and using the formula ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du. Substitution involves replacing the variable with a new one and then integrating as usual.

3. Can the integral of ArcSin(x) be simplified further?

Yes, the integral of ArcSin(x) can be simplified further by using trigonometric identities. For example, the expression sqrt(1-x^2) can be written as cos(ArcSin(x)) or sin(ArcSin(x)).

4. What is the domain of the integral of ArcSin(x)?

The domain of the integral of ArcSin(x) is [-1, 1]. This is because the range of ArcSin(x) is also [-1, 1], and the integral needs to be defined for all values in the range of the function.

5. Can the integral of ArcSin(x) be used to solve real-world problems?

Yes, the integral of ArcSin(x) can be used to calculate the area under a curve in certain real-world scenarios, such as calculating the surface area of a dome or the volume of a spherical tank.
