SUMMARY
The integral of the inverse trigonometric function discussed is represented as ∫1/√(1-(x+1)²) dx. The user initially struggled with determining the appropriate substitution for u but later clarified that a=1 is correct. This integral can be solved using trigonometric substitution, specifically by setting u = x + 1, which simplifies the expression under the square root.
