integral of 1/((1-x^2)^{3/2)}

\int \frac{1}{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

\frac{x}{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int sec^{2} (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int sec^{2} (u) d u = tan (u)

= tan (u)

Substitute back

u = arcsin (x)

= tan (arcsin (x))

Use the following identity:

tan (arcsin (x)) = \frac{x}{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

= \frac{x}{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x}{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} + C
