Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 91–102.
93. ∫(arcsin x)²dx/√(1-x²)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the integral is of the form \(\int \frac{(\arcsin x)^2}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \, dx\). Notice that the denominator \(\sqrt{1 - x^2}\) is the derivative of \(\arcsin x\) with respect to \(x\) because \(\frac{d}{dx}(\arcsin x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}\).
Use the substitution method by letting \(t = \arcsin x\). Then, differentiate both sides to find \(dt = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \, dx\), which implies \(dx = \sqrt{1 - x^2} \, dt\).
Rewrite the integral in terms of \(t\): since \(\arcsin x = t\), the numerator becomes \(t^2\), and the denominator times \(dx\) becomes \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \times dx = dt\). Therefore, the integral simplifies to \(\int t^2 \, dt\).
Integrate \(\int t^2 \, dt\) using the power rule for integration: \(\int t^n \, dt = \frac{t^{n+1}}{n+1} + C\). Here, \(n=2\), so the integral becomes \(\frac{t^3}{3} + C\).
Finally, substitute back \(t = \arcsin x\) to express the answer in terms of \(x\): the integral is \(\frac{(\arcsin x)^3}{3} + C\).
