Proof Of The Derivative Of Arcsine(x)

What we are trying to find is:

\[ \int \arcsin(x) \ dx \]

We are going to use integration by parts:

\[ \int u \ dv = uv - \int v \ du\]

Let's define \(u\) and \(v\):

\[\begin{gathered} u = \arcsin(x), du= \frac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \\ v = x , dv = dx \end{gathered}\]

This means:

\[ \int \arcsin(x) \ dx = x(\arcsin(x)) - \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \ dx\]

Derivating \(\sqrt{1-x^2}\) gives \(-\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\), this means:

\[ \int \arcsin(x) \ dx = x(\arcsin(x)) - \left( - \sqrt{1-x^2} \right) = x(\arcsin(x)) + \sqrt{1-x^2} +C\]
