The integral \(\int \frac{3x+2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx\) cannot be solved using factoring or partial fractions due to the square root in the denominator. Instead, the integral can be split into two parts: \(\int \frac{3x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx\) and \(\int \frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx\). The first integral can be resolved using a substitution where \(u = 1 - x^2\), while the second integral requires a trigonometric substitution. This approach effectively simplifies the evaluation of the integral.

[itex]\displaystyle\int {\frac{3x+2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx}[/itex]The Attempt at a Solution
- i tried factoring hoping for a perfect square that i could take the square root of, but that doesn't work.
-u-sub won't work: u=1-[itex]x^2[/itex] ; du=2x
