integral of (cos(x))/(sqrt(2-sin^2(x)))

\int \frac{cos ( x )}{2 - sin ^{2} ( x )} d x

arcsin (\frac{1}{2} sin (x)) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{cos ( x )}{2 - sin ^{2} ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{2 - u ^{2}} d u

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int 1 d v

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

= 1 \cdot v

Substitute back

= 1 \cdot arcsin (\frac{1}{2} sin (x))

Simplify

= arcsin (\frac{1}{2} sin (x))

Add a constant to the solution

= arcsin (\frac{1}{2} sin (x)) + C
