It is possible to find positive integers $A,B, C, D, E$ such that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac{2a}{a^2+1}} sin^{-1}\big(\frac{|1-ax|}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\big)dx=\frac{A}{\sqrt{a^2+1}}sin^{-1}\big(\frac{1}{a^B}\big ) - C sin^{-1} \big(\frac{1}{a^D}\big) + \frac {Ea\pi}{a^2+1}$ for all real numbers $ a \geq 3$.

What is the value of A + B + C + D + E ?

Answer:-

How to answer this question?. The questioner also provided answer to this question. First he solved this question using integration by parts, then applying the substitution $(a^2+1)*x- a= a*sin\theta $. Then applying the substitution $t= tan \frac{\theta}{2} $

But I didn't understand some steps in his answer.

If any member of MHB knows the solution to this question, he may reply with correct answer.

This integral can be computed only with the help of numerical analysis. Classical calculus and trigonometry won't be of much help here.
