Answer

$$ \int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}} \sin ^{-1} x}=\ln \left|\sin ^{-1} x\right|+C $$ where $C$ is an arbitrary constant.

Work Step by Step

$$ \int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}} \sin ^{-1} x} $$ Let $u=\sin ^{-1} x$, Then $d u=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} d x $. and, the Substitution Rule gives $$ \begin{aligned} \int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}} \sin ^{-1} x}&=\int \frac{1}{u} d u\\ &=\ln |u|+C \\ &=\ln \left|\sin ^{-1} x\right|+C \end{aligned} $$ where $C$ is an arbitrary constant.
