Answer

$$\tanh ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}-\tanh ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}$$

Work Step by Step

Since $$\int \frac{d x}{a^2-x^{2}}=\frac{1}{a}\tanh^{-1}(x/a) $$ Then \begin{align*} \int_{1 / 3}^{1 / 2} \frac{d x}{1-x^{2}}&=\tanh ^{-1} x\bigg|_{1 / 3} ^{1 / 2}\\ &=\tanh ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}-\tanh ^{-1} \frac{1}{3} \end{align*}
