What substitution should I notice in this integral?












1












$begingroup$


I've solved this integral by partial integration method ('u' is first fraction and dv is the second fraction), but I've been told that there is a much simpler method using substitution which I can't see.I've tried to substitute arcsin(x) which eliminates the root and leaves me with sin functions in the integral (it didn't help).
$$int frac {arcsin(x)}{sqrt {1-x^2}} * frac {1+x^2}{x^2} dx$$

          You're going to have to use integration by parts at some point. But as Harnak said, we can use $u$ substituion to have a much easier time. Let $u = arcsin(x)$. Then
          begin{align*}
          int frac{arcsin(x)}{sqrt{1-x^2}} (frac{1+x^2}{x^2}) dx &= int u(1+csc^2(u))du \
          &=frac{u^2}{2} +int ucsc^2(u) du \
          &= frac{u^2}{2} - ucot(u) + int cot(u)du \
          &= frac{u^2}{2} - ucot(u)+lnmidsin(u)mid+C
          end{align*}

          From this point, make the necessary substitutions back in and simplify.

            Hint: try the following substitution $$t= arcsin(x)$$
            and remember the derivative of arcsine.

              It works according to wolframalpha.I've already tried this method, this gives me integral t* (1+sin^2 (t))/ sin^2 (t).I'm not sure how to proceed from here.Maybe trigonometric substitutions (t=tan(x/2))?

            From this point, make the necessary substitutions back in and simplify.
