Answer

$$\int \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}dx=arcsin\,x-\sqrt{1-x^{2}}+C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\int \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}dx=\int \sqrt{\frac{(1+x)^{2}}{1-x^{2}}}dx$$ $$let\ x=sint,\,dx=cost\,dt$$ $$\int \sqrt{\frac{(1+x)^{2}}{1-x^{2}}}dx=\int \sqrt{\frac{(1+sint)^{2}}{1-sint^{2}}}cost\,dt$$ $$=\int (1+sint)\,dt=t-cost+C$$ $$=arcsin\,x-\sqrt{1-x^{2}}+C$$
