The question is something like this, find the:
d/dx of sin-1 (X+a) /b.
then evaluate,
intergarte of X / (9-4x-x2) 1/2
&
intergarte of X2 / (9-4x-x2) 1/2


What i get for the first part is,
d/dx of sin-1 (X+a) /b = 1 / ( -X2/b2-2aX/b2-a2+b2/b2)1/2


Then I'm stuck. xD
Sorry for the confusing equation.

Sorry for the confusing equation.

With y=sin⁻¹[(x+a)/b], dy/dx= 1/√[b² - x² - 2xa - a²]

Let ℐ≡ ∫ xdx/√(9-4x-x²). Set u:= 4x+x²⇒½du-2dx=xdx. Whence ℐ= ∫ ½du/√(9-u) - 2sin⁻¹[(x+2)/√5] + constant. And so on...

NOTE1: 2a=4 ⇒ a=2 and b² - a²=9 ⇒ b=√5.

NOTE2: Given, ½du-2dx=xdx multiply through by `x` to get ½xdu-2xdx=x²dx.

Correction: b² - a²=9 ⇒ b=√13. So that,

ℐ= ∫ ½du/√(9-u) - 2sin⁻¹[(x+2)/√13] + constant.
