Answer

$\frac{-\sqrt {1-x^2}}{x} +C$

Work Step by Step

Use Integration by tables to find the indefinite integral $\int \frac{1}{x^2\sqrt {1-x^2}}dx$ Let $ a=1, u=x, du=dx$ Rewrite the integrand $\int \frac{1}{u^2\sqrt {a^2-u^2}}du$ Use Formula #44 in the integration tables to integrate $\int \frac{1}{u^2\sqrt {a^2-u^2}}du= \frac{-\sqrt {a^2-u^2}}{a^2u}+C$ Resubstitute $\frac{-\sqrt {1-x^2}}{x} +C$
