Greetings,
I know [tex] \int \frac {1} {{\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx[/tex] is arcsine(x)
My question is can [tex] \int \frac {1} {\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx[/tex]
be solved by some technique (parts, substitution...) and the answer be in terms of x and NOT an expression of arcsine?
Meaning, I would like the solution to the integral in terms of x and possibly other functions (ln for example) but not in terms of trig functions.
If so, can you show me?
Thanks
