integral of 1/(sqrt(25-16x^2))

\int \frac{1}{25 - 16 x ^{2}} d x

\frac{1}{4} arcsin (\frac{4}{5} x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{25 - 16 x ^{2}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{4} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int 1 d u

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot 1 \cdot u

Substitute back

u = arcsin (\frac{4}{5} x)

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot 1 \cdot arcsin (\frac{4}{5} x)

Simplify

= \frac{1}{4} arcsin (\frac{4}{5} x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{4} arcsin (\frac{4}{5} x) + C
