u = arcsin ( x ) sin u = x Substituting that back in you get ∫ 1 − sin 2 u d u .
That's the same as ∫ cos 2 u d u or ∫ sec 2 u d u .
That gives tan u + C . But I wanted to get rid of u . So I substitute back u = arcsin ( x ) . = tan ( arcsin x ) + C But that isn't an answer choice, so I had to simplify further. = cos ( arcsin x ) sin ( arcsin x ) + C The numerator is just x . For the denominator, we know that cos ( x ) = 1 − sin 2 x = 1 − sin 2 ( arcsin x ) x + C = 1 − x 2 x + C
