Identify the integral to solve: \(\int \frac{\sin^{-1}(ax)}{x^{2}} \, dx\), where \(a > 0\).
Consider using integration by parts, since the integrand is a product of functions involving an inverse trigonometric function and a power of \(x\). Let \(u = \sin^{-1}(ax)\) and \(dv = \frac{1}{x^{2}} dx\).
Compute the derivatives and integrals needed for integration by parts: find \(du = \frac{a}{\sqrt{1 - a^{2}x^{2}}} dx\) and \(v = -\frac{1}{x}\).
Apply the integration by parts formula: \(\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du\), substituting the expressions for \(u\), \(v\), and \(du\).
Simplify the resulting integral, which will likely require a second table look-up or substitution to evaluate \(\int \frac{1}{x \sqrt{1 - a^{2}x^{2}}} dx\). Use a table of integrals or a computer algebra system to find this integral.
