Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 1–6.
∫ (arcsin x)² dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recognize that the integral involves the square of the inverse sine function, \((\arcsin x)^2\), which suggests using integration by parts to simplify the expression.
Set up integration by parts by choosing \(u = (\arcsin x)^2\) and $dv = dx$. Then compute \(du\) and \(v\): - Differentiate \(u\) using the chain rule: \(du = 2 \arcsin x \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \, dx\). - Integrate \(dv\) to get \(v = x\).
Apply the integration by parts formula: \[\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du,\] which becomes \[\int (\arcsin x)^2 \, dx = x (\arcsin x)^2 - 2 \int \frac{x \arcsin x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \, dx.\]
Focus on the remaining integral \(\int \frac{x \arcsin x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \, dx\). Use substitution to simplify it: let \(t = \arcsin x\), so that \(x = \sin t\) and \(dx = \cos t \, dt\). Rewrite the integral in terms of \(t\).
After substitution, simplify the integral and solve it using standard integration techniques (such as integration by parts again or recognizing standard integrals). Finally, substitute back \(t = \arcsin x\) to express the answer in terms of \(x\).
