Theorem

$\displaystyle \int \arcsin x \ \mathrm d x = x \arcsin x + \sqrt {1-x^2} + C$

for $x \in \left[{-1 .. 1}\right]$.


Proof

$\displaystyle \int \arcsin x \ \mathrm d x = \int 1 \cdot \arcsin x \ \mathrm d x$


Using:

we obtain:

$\displaystyle \int \arcsin x \ \mathrm d x = x \arcsin x - \int \dfrac x {\sqrt {1 - x^2}} \ \mathrm dx$

Substitute:

\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle u\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle 1-x^2\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)                    
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \dfrac {\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle -2 x\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          differentiate WRT $x$          
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \implies\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle -\frac 1 2 \frac {\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle x\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)                    
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \int \arcsin x \ \mathrm d x\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle x \arcsin x - \int \frac {-\frac 1 2} {\sqrt u} \frac {\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}\mathrm dx\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)                    
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \int \arcsin x \ \mathrm d x\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle x \arcsin x + \frac 1 2 \int u^{-1/2} \ \mathrm du\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          Integration by Substitution          
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(=\) \(\displaystyle x \arcsin x + u^{1/2} + C\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          Integral of Power          
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(=\) \(\displaystyle x \arcsin x + \sqrt {1-x^2} + C\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          from $u = 1-x^2$
