My first integration problem

Calculus Level 3

Which answer choice is equal to d ( arcsin x ) 1 x 2 \displaystyle \int \frac{\text{ d}\left(\arcsin x \right)}{1-x^{2}} ?

x 1 + x 2 + C \displaystyle \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2} }} + C tan x + C \tan x + C arcsin ( tan x ) + C \arcsin\left(\tan x \right) + C x 1 x 2 + C \displaystyle \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2} }} + C tan 2 x + C \tan^{2} x + C

u = arcsin ( x ) u=\arcsin(x) sin u = x \sin u = x Substituting that back in you get d u 1 sin 2 u \displaystyle \int \frac{\text{d}u}{1-\sin^{2} u} .

That's the same as d u cos 2 u \displaystyle \int \frac{\text{d}u}{\cos^{2} u} or sec 2 u d u \displaystyle \int \sec^{2}u \text{ d} u .

That gives tan u + C \tan u + C . But I wanted to get rid of u u . So I substitute back u = arcsin ( x ) u=\arcsin(x) . = tan ( arcsin x ) + C = \tan\left( \arcsin x \right) + C But that isn't an answer choice, so I had to simplify further. = sin ( arcsin x ) cos ( arcsin x ) + C = \frac{\sin \left( \arcsin x \right)}{\cos \left( \arcsin x \right)}+ C The numerator is just x x . For the denominator, we know that cos ( x ) = 1 sin 2 x \cos(x) = \sqrt{1-\sin^{2}x} = x 1 sin 2 ( arcsin x ) + C = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - \sin^{2} \left( \arcsin x \right)}}+ C = x 1 x 2 + C =\boxed{ \displaystyle \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} + C}
