Evaluate the following integrals:


Tip – If f1(x) and f2(x) are two functions , then an integral of the form can be INTEGRATED BY PARTS as


where f1(x) and f2(x) are the first and second functions respectively.


Taking f1(x) = sin-1x and f2(x) = 1/x2,






Taking x= sina, dx = cosada


Hence, coseca=1/x


Now, cosec2a-cot2a = 1 so cota=√(1-x2)/x






Replacing the value of a, we get,




The total integration yields as


, where c is the integrating constant
