Hello everybody 
Here it is...
I managed to do this, but my solution does not match the one proided by the book possibly because my trig sucks big time and I havent been able to tidy up the final expression. Anyway, here is my work:
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int\dfrac{2x-\sqrt{\arcsin{x}}}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dx=?\)
\(\displaystyle x=\sin{t}\) => \(\displaystyle t=\arcsin{x}\)
\(\displaystyle dx=\cos{t}\;dt\)
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int\dfrac{2\sin{t}-\sqrt{\arcsin{(\sin{t})}}}{\sqrt{1-\sin^2{t}}}\cos{t}\;dt=\)
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int\dfrac{2\sin{t}-\sqrt{t}}{\sqrt{\cos^2{t}}}\cos{t}\;dt=\)
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int\dfrac{2\sin{t}-t^{1/2}}{\cos{t}}\cos{t}\;dt=\)
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int2\sin{t}-t^{1/2}\;dt=\)
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int2\sin{t}\;dt-\int t^{1/2}\;dt=\)
\(\displaystyle 2\cos{t}-\frac{2}{3}t^{3/2}+C=\)
\(\displaystyle 2\cos{(\arcsin{x})}-\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{(\arcsin{x})^3}+C\) <========== This one is my answer.
\(\displaystyle C-2\sqrt{1-x^2}-\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{(\arcsin{x})^3}\) <========== This one is from the book. The book offers only final answers, without the steps.
Did I do the integral wrong, or have I just failed to transform the final expression? If yes, how can I transform it?
