    Integration
In summary, the conversation is about finding the integral of arcsinx and using integration by parts to solve it. The person asking for help has not shown their own attempts at solving the problem and the conversation ends with a question about why the problem is being asked in the precalculus section.

Start with x = sin y

Differentiate. Use a trig identity to express the cos you get in terms of the original function (sine). Rewrite that replacing the sin y's with x's.

Edit: Whoops, nevermind. That will give you the deriviative of y = arcsin x, eventually. It looks like you want the integral of arcsinx, but I can't be sure. If you want help, you really should state the problem more clearly than you have.

This is posted under homework help but you have not shown what you have already tried yourself.

[tex]\int \arcsin (x) dx[/tex].
Looking at that integral, you have no idea how to begin it, then the most common thing to do is to use integrating by parts. What's u, and what's dv, you think?

Well, there's only one function and you don't know immediately how to integrate it (that's the whole problem!) so how about trying
u= arcsin(x), dv= dx?

By the way, is there a reason for posing problems about derivatives and integrals in the precalculus section?
 

1. What is the definition of "proving integration of arcsinx"?

The integration of arcsinx refers to the process of finding the antiderivative of the inverse sine function. This involves using techniques such as substitution and integration by parts to determine the integral of arcsinx.

2. How is the integration of arcsinx useful in mathematics?

The integration of arcsinx is useful in various branches of mathematics, such as calculus, differential equations, and complex analysis. It allows for the evaluation of integrals involving inverse trigonometric functions, which are commonly used in physics, engineering, and other fields.

3. What are the key steps in proving integration of arcsinx?

The key steps in proving integration of arcsinx include using the inverse sine identity, applying substitution, and using integration by parts. These techniques help simplify the integral and eventually lead to the antiderivative of arcsinx.

4. Are there any special cases or exceptions when proving integration of arcsinx?

Yes, there are a few special cases to consider when proving integration of arcsinx. These include when the argument of the inverse sine function is a constant or when it is a function of another variable. In these cases, additional techniques may need to be applied.

5. Can the integration of arcsinx be proven for other inverse trigonometric functions?

Yes, the integration of arcsinx is just one example of proving the integration of an inverse trigonometric function. The same techniques can be applied to other inverse trigonometric functions, such as arccosx, arctanx, and arcsecx. However, each function may require different approaches and identities to be proven.
